Have you gotten any information regarding this problem because I am having
it too. Just started doing it one day and I have no idea why.

I think that I finally resolved it what you need to do is go to DOS PROMT
then I typed C:/sfc (search files certified) this function makes shure that
you have those files and if not it will replace them, you will also need to
have your original disk, for it to be able to load- compare.
at least thats what I did and I dont get those 2 errors that I used to get.
good luck and write me if you, dont resolve it.
