Does the computer run fine at all? Usually this message means a hard-drive is failing and needs to be replaced. I also recommend performing a checkdisk just like the second post said.

You can also test the hard drive and see if it is going bad by downloading the diagnostics utility from the manufacturer's website of the HD. Put the program onto a CD, boot the computer to it, and then test the HD for any errors.

If the program detects errors then I recommend backing up all of the info on the HD.
