The power supply or motherboard would be the first thing damaged if there was a power surge. It's always possible that you did get a surge.

Do you have the Windows XP installation disk? If so, try to run the XP setup again, it will allow you to install a fresh copy of XP right overtop of itself, not losing any settings or anything else.

If nothing was physically damaged, then you could have just had a file corrupt.
