Got blue screen told to find windows xp startup disc to bring back memory
The disc should have came with your computer.
If you can't find it, perhaps you have a friend who has a Windows XP disc you could borrow to retrieve the needed file from it which your computer is requesting?
This symptom could be a sign of the hard drive starting to go bad or at best, Windows has just had a small problem.
Try going into Safe Mode. If you can go in to Safe Mode, the problem might "correct itself."
To do that, after first turning the computer on, and before Windows begins to start, press the F8 key multiple times, until you receive the Safe Mode menu.
See this Microsoft article for more info about how to use Safe Mode:

SOURCE: On startup, goes to very dim screen
If the hard drive is going bad, usually running scan disk will help diagnose the problem. If scan disk reports bad sectors then it is likely time to replace the drive. If no bad sectors then the problem is probably somewhere else. Hopefully it is functional enough to get to scan disk.
left double click on my computer, right click on the C: drive, click properties, choose the tools tab, then choose "error checking"

change your ide cable or sata.
Reset your bios settings pull cmos cell from motherbord for minute so all settings are defaults.
Also boot your computer with winxp disk then if you able to enter in setup then go to recovery console mode and run "chkdsk /r' command .
Also check your harddisk is master set jumper in master position .
