[CS-FSLUG] IDE Errors and windows defrag

Well, looks like I've confused my system.  I get the following errors:
hda: read_intr: error=0x10 { SectorIdNotFound }, LBAsect=40001664,
sector=40001664
hda: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error } 

I've seen some places where it points to a disk failure, but in this
case I believe it is actually caused by running defrag in windows -
diskkeeper, not the included version.  A fresh install of FC2 will run
fine until the first time the defrag is run, and then the same errors.
 Does this sound correct?  I've checked the disk out with spinrite,
and everything looks fine.  It's a 60GB, with a 30GB FAT32, and the
rest is / , and swap.  Once the boot is complete, and X loads, there
are no more errors - I can still access everything with no problems. 
Just curious to see if I am correct with the assumption that "windows
did it"  Thanks for any feedback.

Brad
