I would exit out of it and test the hard drive for possible faults using diagnostic software on a boot disc or pen drive.
This will test any brand of HDD:
Seagate SeaTools for DOS

Depending on test results (ie any 'Fail' messages), you may have to replace the HDD.
Or if it's a WD drive, you should use
Data LifeGuard Diagnostic for DOS
