Windows File Protection

For the past 7 days, upon booting to Desktop, the following message box
appears:

"Windows File Protection
Please wait while Windows verifies that all protected Windows files are
intact and in their original versions."

A Progress bar creeps along agonizingly slow, then another box opens :
"Insert your XP Pro CD Rom..."
I accordingly insert the WinXp Cd, but after a few minutes the same message
comes up, requesting the CD (while it is still in the Drive.) and on it goes
for ever.

I have no clue as to what have caused this.
Anyone ever had this experience?
