+100!
Only after you have backed up what you can, then try MBRcheck.exe (free program) chkdisk, and search for virus or malware. Also try using System Restore to the last date when everything worked.

One more thought: I've had it where a drive couldn't read a CD or DVD but if I copied it the drive could read the copy. I don't know if you can do that with a HD though.
