I think some program is trying to access it. So do a checkup in the startup list folders
C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
Delete the ones unnecessary.

Also, you can type "msconfig" (without quotes) in Start->Run & have a look at all the startup programs & services which may be causing the problem.

For starters, have a look at this website for any of your startup queries:

By reading your post all over the forum I can conclud that your system has infected by some virus...

1) Update ur XP from Microsoft website.
2) Disable all unwanted entry from startup..using msconfig.

1) try system restoring to a point where ur system worked fine
or
2) go to bios n remove the option of booting from floppy from the "boot sequence".

chk out it may help..

You can use a software called Floppy Drive Disabler from
http://www.intelliadmin.com/FloppyDisabler_Free.exe
to quickly enable or disable Floppy Drives on your Windows 2000, 2003, or XP system.
But this may not be complete remedy to your problem.

install spybot SD
use its tools option to remove the startup entry in registry for this error
