Error Message: Rootkit scan cancelled due to a corrupt disk

We are seeing the rootkit scan fail on multiple systems due to a "corrupt disk".  Specifically the error is:

Code: a01e0004

Description: Rootkit scan cancelled due to a corrupt disk

Have checked systems experiencing this error and there is no problem with the disk (scans are negative).  Any idea what corrupt disk this might refer to.  Also interesting is clicking on the link back to sophos knowledgebase comes up with nothing.  That is there is no entry for error code a01e0004.

We are running enterprise console 4.0.0.2362. 

System experiencing the error is running Windows Vista service pack 2.

Anyone have ideas on what might be causing this?

Thanks in advance.

  •  I have this message.  The scan didn't actually shut down - it just hung up.

    Windows Defender also fails to finish the scan - it slows to a crawl.

    I think my system is infected, but I don't know what to do about it.

    Details.
