Magnetic information does not last forever, and sector ID information gradually degrades to a point where you encounter file errors. Start by checking for any file structure problems on the drive, use a utility such as Scandisk to examine the drive and search for bad sectors. If a failed sector involves part of an .EXE or .COM file, that file would be corrupt and should be restored from a backup. If there are no problems detected with the file structure, replace the drive signal cable. Otherwise, replace the suspected drive outright.
