May be a corrupted XP file.  DId you install anything new prior to getting the message, or done any updates?... I agree with the above suggestion.  Have you thought of doing a System Restore, too?

Assuming (isn't stated, so I'll go for most popular) you are using win XP, insert the installation disk and then boot. Then access the recovery console (see sources for a how-to). Then run fixmbr (command line interface, so type and hit enter). This repairs the part of the disk that contains the information on where Operating systems can be found on the disk, this may help!\n\nAdditional note: maybe read the warnings first - if you have a dual or multiple boot systems (more than one OS) or a non default bootloader, this may cause problems. If you have no clue what I'm on about, then you probably don't have either.

Dear friend that is very easy way but u have to be very careful for that because if anything goes  wrong then u have to format and reinstall OS. So 1st open the boot.ini file in notepad and change the 2nd line of the code and save it and restart system. remember copy the original file and make changes in some the copy ed file.

as the error explains, it is a device error. remove every additional hardware that you might have installed. then restart the system and re-install the hardware.

depending on ur OS, use msconfig or sysedit command from the run of start menu and start closing all the unnecessary application starting during booting up. this would solve ur problem... its bcoz of some software uninstalled, but not in a proper way. try it out... if this doesn't help... there's no other way out except formatting and reloading the OS,\n\nby the way, does this error emerges even when u log on in safe mode? if not, u r lucky, don't format and follow what i suggested formerly

Xavier, it sounds like your OS has died on you somehow. sounds to me like you are gonna have to reinstall it. sorry to be the bearer of bad news. it could possibly be bad sectors on your hard drive too which means you need a new one.

Hmm you might want to do a system restore. It sounds like you got a corrupted drive.\n\nTry going to START then RUN then type msconfig and hit enter. Go to the STARTUP tab. Then you might want to get rid of some startup programs thats conflicting with your computer that loads when your computer boots up. Try and download http://www.avast.com and do a scan on your computer to see whats wrong.\n\nAlso click on My computer and then right click on your C drive and choose the scan option and do a scan on your computer to see what errors might need fixing.\n\nThen just reboot and see if the errors stopped.
