Run CHKDSK. The disk has some bad sectors, but it may not be deteriorating rapidly. (Still, disks are cheap. Prepare to get it replaced)
If you cannot get access to the disk even after a reboot, you should run CHKDSK from the Recovery Console.

Data:<snip> *** A short bit of research says this is because the drive is going. Attempting a chkdsk says 'cannot open volume for direct access'; would that be because I'm using Terminal Services to connect to it? Either way, the drive is/will be bad?
