I havent had this problem with it before, so i did some looking up and that error can happen if any system files are messed up or missing so running sfc /scannow is a good idea

It can also happen if the volume shadow copies are messed up and need to be fixed, that is done by removing them and starting fresh and of course make sure the VSS or volume shadow copy service is running.

It can also happen if there are bad sectors on the drive, did you do a chkdsk on the drive yet?

Thanks Shane.
sfc /scannow did not solve the problem, nor did chkdsk.
VSS service is running.
It was stopped last night and I started it again.
When I checked earlier it had stopped again.
I restarted it earlier on and it is still running.
As a novice I would not know if the volume shadow copies are messed up or how to fix them.
Sorry that I could not be more helpful.
