Unable to start Windows Firewall/ICS service.

Hi
I am working on a Windows xp professional SP2. Whenever I am trying to start
the service "Windows firewall/Internet connection sharing ICS", I get the
following error message.

"Error 123: Unable to start the windows firewall(ICS) service. The disk or
volume label is invalid"

I did various things ,but of no use. Can someone provide me with solutions
on how to fix this problem.

quick response is highly appreciated.

Thanks.
