Right out of the blue, my C drive wont read discs, music, software or otherwise, this has never happened before, before POSTING this I have run all kinds of virus programs, any suggestions? I am on Wondows XP.....
The C Drive is a hard drive. If you can't read a disc in an optical drive that is another matter. Please list a lot more specifics like what drive you were trying to access, etc. See below.See below what?
I dont understand what you WANT to know, C drive is the one that runs disc's, ect, I have a 'F' drive but that doesnt come into play here, what do you MEAN? :-?What it looks like to me from looking at the same error messages on google, it regards optical drives. Yet I believe he receives this error when clicking on the Hard Disk C drive. Maybe some new INSTALLATIONS of some sort have interfered with the drive configuration making the C: drive in My Computer lead into some fake or non existant drive.

It can't really be something wrong with the actual hard disk if he can still run anti-virus programs.

That's my best guess. Try to remember the last thing you did before it happened. Or remember the date it started happening and go for a SYSTEM Restore, which would maybe ensure whether it is a software related issue.
