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.

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.
