Cannot write to drive C

I have recently been getting this message when I start up the computer. I get the desktop and after about 30 seconds it switches off and I get the message "Cannot write to Drive C. I just press any key and the desktop returns and I can then proceed as normal. Occasionally the computer will again switch itself off and on start up prompts me to run scandisk. I use my computer for photography and have recently been deleting a lot of image files and defragging having filled my hard disc up. I have also restored a few system files from my Windows 98SE CD which had been lost. Recently I had a suspect email (with no attachment) and when I clicked on it to delete it several windows came up with a message something like "program installation failed". I wonder if this has anything to do with my recent problem. I would appreciate any help anyone can give me. NB: I notice that my previous post about problems with my Apacer is still shown, please ignore that as I have solved that problem. Thank you, Sue

I am unable to disable the 'read only' box in Windows Explorer Properties on photoes written to CD from memory card on my Apacer Steno CP200 which I want to maniuplate in Photoshop. Can anyone help?
