There are a ton of replies to these kinds of drive errors in the
archives.  It is strange it only happens when using one program.  I
would guess it will start to manifest itself in other areas.  Some
people have posted fixes that worked for them.  Others like myself ended
up buying new drives in the end.  I would at least make sure you have a
backup of the drive. 
Good Luck.
