This problem may happens if the hard drive is corrupted. Try to run the on this disk:

2. Right-click the problem disk drive, and then click "Properties".
3. Click the "Tools" tab, and then, under "Error-checking", click "Check" Now. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Note: Check for both file errors and physical errors, by selecting both “Automatically fix file system errors” and “Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors”.
4. Click "Start".

If on error was found, move to the next steps:

1. Click start, type in regedit to open registry edit.
2. Navigate to the following registry key:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control Right click on control and create new key. Name it as StorageDevicePolicies .
