A quick search in google takes me to M$ web site -> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/830084

Do you have a genuine windows XP disk? if so try booting to a recovery console and use the chkdsk /f command and see if that helps at all

With the Computer being second hand I personally would be tempted to format the hard drive and start afresh with XP
