That would be consistent with the symtpoms you describe, and also with what ATAPORT.SYS apparently is.
Get a backup, ASAP, and go looking for a diagnostic boot disk that can do a comprehensive scan of the drive. Don't use the computer any more than absolutely
have to until you've got that backup, or you might lose everything.
