Try defraging the hard drive. Will probably have to run scan disk first, but the disk defrag utility does move data / clusters as needed.

You might also want to run a good antivirus program with an up-to-date virus pattern database. There are a number of viruses that will move data around like that.

You don't say when you get the message but I would add my weight to the Virus answer. This is NOT a normal error message within dos or windows. You can download a free (permanently with updates) virus checker from www.cai.com
