No. You may have some hardware problems. If you are running DANI's
drivers you can use her DiskInfo.exe to look at some drive statistics.
Here's my DaniDiskInfo.cmd file which I use to do this (I'm 1600x1200,
you'll have to change the MODE command to suit your display and your
command line window font):

@echo off
mode 80,81
echo ---------- DiskInfo -? ----------
DiskInfo -?
echo ---------- DiskInfo, no parameters ----------
DiskInfo
echo ---------- DiskInfo -v ----------
DiskInfo -v
echo ---------- DiskInfo -s ----------
DiskInfo -s
echo ---------- DiskInfo -c ----------
DiskInfo -c
pause
echo ---------- DiskInfo -i ----------
DiskInfo -i | more
pause

Move your current archives to a new "safety" directory. Then you can
continue to make archives.
