If you Google this error, it brings hundreds of hits, with all kind of possibilities.
Most common culprit, though, seems to be faulty RAM.

Also, your using XP with 128MB of RAM?
Now, this wont necessarily cause this specific issue, however, it will cause XP to run like... junk.

Did the problem start immediately at the install of XP? Did you try reformatting again?
