Ouch, that sounds bad. I tried searching the Microsft Knowledgebase and it didn't return any results.

Are you experiencing any other strange activity? How often does this popup? When did it start doing this?

Did you install any new disk utility software or anything? Basic question I know but that does it more often than not....
