Have you installed any new software recently?
Due you have up to date Antivirus software?

If no to 1, and yes to 2, you may potentially have a hardware problem.
Do you have your XP CD to hand? You may be able to repair your windows install using it.

Yes, the order in which the board selects boot devices can be adjusted in the BIOS. It'll probably be under 'Advanced CMOS Features' or 'Basic CMOS Features'.
