Sounds to me that you're on the verge of getting a hard
drive crash. It's physically dying, as the bad cluster
gives me a clue. tell it to fix that cluster and itwill
move data off of that part of the drive (if there is any
on it) and mark it so windows can't use it anymore.
continue to monitor this sector though. If it grows you
will need to get your hard drive replaced.
