Looks like it to me. I think that this thread shows what is happening.

Am I right in thinking that you have one hard drive partitioned into logical drives? If yes then what is happening to one logical drive is happening to all the logical drives because the PHYSICAL drive is breaking down (Knackered bearings causing wobble resulting in the heads hitting the surface?) As Loblo is saying, time to back up and get a new drive fitted

The only thing that springs to mind is do a scandisk in DOS with a surface scan to eliminate the possibility of the disk in the throes of going "belly up" Best of luck Tony

Myself, I use CCleaner and something I've used from my Win98 days, "Easycleaner". Easycleaner is not quite as rigorous as CrapCleaner but does a good job for me. Right click and run as Administrator. Look at registry and unnecessary files I've not looked at Win7 as I've not had problems with a full HD but XP had a load of leftovers( Uninstall) from updates which (looking at dates) which can be deleted if your machine is stable.
