Although it's possible that command.com was deleted, most likely the hard disk is bad. You may be able to fix the problem if you have a Windows XP install CD, but it will fail again.

Boot from another device, then type "sys c:" to transfer the system files to the hard drive. I have no idea if this still works in XP.
