When it relate to a hard drive, it's realy bad news.
It usualy mean that there is a problem with a required driver for a device, but there are normaly NO drivers for a hard drive... The usual cure is to uninstall and reinstall the affected driver. Open the device manager, find the periferal, in your case, a drive.
Open it's properties.
Uninstall the driver and let Windows reinstall it.
