My first guess would be a virus that crashes your
master boot record of the drive but there are
other possibilities as well, like power surges or
a bad power supply, especially fluctuations on the
12V rail seem to have a similar effect on HDDs.

Another factor that in the past has always come up
is memory timing settings or simply bad memory
contacts that can lead to corruption of the file
system, even if the drive itself is ok. I would
recommend re-seating the memory modules in the box
after carefully cleaning the contacts with a soft
eraser.

One thing you mention is that you are using XP in
conjunction with 2TB drives, so you are already
pushing the limits there.

Hope this helps
