Hardware or SP2 issue?

I'm not sure what is causing my issue her. After I
installed SP2, the computer had a hard time booting. It
would hang with the hard drive light lit up and the only
option would be to hit the reset button. This would
happen anytime, sometimes while working in a program,
sometimes while booting up, at any point after the POST.
after a couple of days, XP reported that a file was
missing during boot up and replaced it. I can't remember
hwat the name of the file was. It worked fine for about
a week. Now, it reports that it can't find a bpptable
device after the POST. It will do this a couple of
times, and then boot properly.
The POST reports that the hard drive is fine, but I
suspect a hard drive problem. It's a Western Digital
hard drive. Any thoughts?

I had things acting weird when my power supply went bad.
