I'm having the same thing occur on a Seagate drive.  In my case I believe the drive is about to go south.  Scandisk will ask if you want to continue receiving those messages.  Select no and allow scandisk to continue.

  Subject: [PCBUILD] Scandisk won't complete


  I have a friend who has a 3 month old Compaq. It is a 850 MHz Duron, 128 MB
  RAM, running Windows Me. When trying to run scandisk ......
  "Scandisk has restarted 10 times. 

  I used Ctrl-Alt-Del and shut down everything except explorer and it still
  does the same thing. Can there be other things running after shutting down
  everything that way? Does anyone have an idea what the problem could be and
  how to get it to run and complete scandisk?  Any ideas would be greatly
  appreciated.

  TIA
