Copy everything off that disk ASAP as in now after reading this sentence then toss that drive in the trash.

I roll with sigs off so I have no idea what you're advertising.

 

This is NOT the signature you are looking for.

A windows pop-up?

 

Sounds like the game failed to grab data off of the drive, probably due to some form of disk problem. It's probably not a random event like bit rot or a cosmic ray (though it is possible).

 

I would do what @IdeaStormer said. If you have up-to-date backups already, then you should just run some disk check utility(ies). If it passes then you might have had a fluke event. If problems come up, you might need a new drive.

I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason and intellect has intended us to forgo their use, and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can attain by them. - Galileo Galilei

Back up, back up and backup! If you're in a bind, after backing up reformat your hdd after doing a chdsk and fixing errors. What you might get is the hdd marking a sector as damaged and not using it. Reload the drive from the backup and go again. Watch carefully though. If you're *very* lucky it's confined to a small section but frankly that drive is on borrowed time.
