"Windows was temporarily unable to read your hard disk drive. We do not know the exact cause of the problem. In most cases, this type of condition is momentary and does not indicate a serious problem, but sometimes it means that a hard disk is failing."Apparently

Mmkay, so I said I have no 60-gig hard drives spare, but I do have a 40-gig one that's sitting around doing nothing (two of them, in fact). I didn't look to see how much free space was left on Dmitri's hard drive, but if what's on there can fit on a 40-gig drive/you can clear out a bunch of stuff that you don't want in order to make it fit/would like me to do a clean reinstall of Windows (after backing up the stuff you want to keep) so as to make Dmitri work better, I can install a new drive for you and get rid of the dying one.

Backing up is something you really feel like doing about 5 seconds after you needed to have kept a backup of everything ever.

Do yourself a favour, go out and buy a 200GB hard drive and external enclosure, and find out a program to backup daily. Your hard drive probably won't fail, but it's the best money ever spent if it does.
