A disk read error occurred; Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart

Ever since the last time I restarted my Windows XP PC, I get the
following error:
A disk read error occurred
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart
This has happened before, and my solution was to backup all the data,
reformat the drive, and then put all the data back again. This is
very time-consuming, and a pain in the ___! The drive appears OK when
connected as a slave, and I even ran Norton Disk Doctor on it and no
errors are found.
I'd like to find out #1, why this problem has happened and seems to re-
occur from time to time, and #2, if there is a better way of fixing it
short of keeping a spare drive on hand to do a data-transfer,
reformat, date-transfer-back, which is a major hassle and takes a long
time to do. Even after that, some applications need to be
reinstalled, because something about this procedure makes them lose
their registered status.
