Restart your PC. When you see the memory check at the top left of your screen start hitting the F8 key repeatedly. Don't keep it pressed, hit it over and over again. You'll get a plain text screen with various options for startup. Select "Command Prompt only".
When you get to a screen that shows you C:/> type chkdsk/f and hit enter.
This will check the C Drive for bad clusters and convert bad clusters into files with the extension .chk. In most cases you may safely delete these files.
Once that is done restart your computer and repeatedly hit the F8 key again until you get the screen with the startup options. This time select "Safe Mode".
Defrag your drive in safe mode because the PC's regular startup causes several programs to run in the background and this interferes with defrag. Every time a program accesses the C Drive defrag will restart and that can go on forever.
I'm not sure but I think if you start your computer in safe mode you can skip the chkdsk step.
Hope this helps.

If you have Windowsxp
Open MyComputer from either the start menu or from the Icon on your desktop..
Highlight your C: drive , and right click it and chose properties.
Go to the TOOLS (tab) and run the Error Checking
And if my memory serves me right, if you run Windows 98. Check disk should be listed under start / programs / accessories / system tools
Do the full checkdisk . After it's done (could be a few hours). Restart windows, and then try the disk defragement
Good Luck

this means that there a scan disk sceduled for boot up because there are errors on the drive. just run the scan disk and from windows, and check the fix box. it might ask to do a boot scan, just select yes, and get it over and done with. and it should sort the problem out.

You may have some bad clusters.
Go to a command prompt and run chkdsk /f. Say yes to the question, and reboot. Chkdsk will run on bootup.
The /f switch fixes bad sectors if they are repairable.

what you should do is slowly enclose an area where by you can stand away, and put your problem pc in the space, then take a few bricks and drop them causing the device to no longer be a problem. Good Luck
