If it is actually a corrupted file, go into "Start/Programs/accessories/System tools" and run "scan disk" It will then ask you if you want it to run the next time the computer starts. Say "OK" and reboot. It will then run check disk before Windows loads.

The above was for Windows XP, you didn't mention which OS you're running.

Running chkdsk should work, this happened to me a few months ago.

Open Command Prompt (CMD)
>XP: Start> Run> type "cmd" > hit ok
>Vista/7: Start> type "cmd" > when you see it, hit enter.

Type this into command (minus quotes): "chkdsk c: /f /r"

It will tell you that it will run on the next reboot. Now reboot and let it run.

Use the method I posted above, it is the same thing just using a different route to get there
