this sounds like a HD issue. it sounds like when it is trying to write to the HD it is timing out too many times and it is unable to write it. Are you connected to a network drive or is it an interal HD?
If it is an internal HD i would say it is the HD conflicting with something and windows files are unable to write. I had the same problem and switching the HD fixed my problem.

On a notebook it could be somewhat expensive to change the HD. Let me know hwo this works out
