Run an extended diagnostic on the drive. F12 at powerup.

Thanks for the tip. The diagnostics didn't find any hard drive problems, so I guess it's a software problem.

I have seen this error message when the hard drive is allowed to be turned off in Power Settings. Try setting the Advanced Power Settings in your Power Scheme to Never turn off hard drive. See if the error message goes away.
