Can access a folder remotely but not locally, getting an error

[BrokenVisage]

So I have two PC's and a laptop, I download and keep all my "questionable" material on this half-assed rig and just share the folders on my network so I can access them on my gaming computer or the laptop. Today I was just downloading as normal and suddenly all the torrents I was seeding turn red in Azureus saying the content for each can't be accessed. I checked the folder I drop all my competed torrents into an now get an error that doesn't allow me to access it. The error is:

D:\whatever refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer, on a network, or on a different computer on your home network. Check to make sure that the disk is properly inserted, or that you are connected to the Internet or home network, and they try again. If it still cannot be located, the information might have been moved to a different location.

So I start to worry then try to access it on my gaming computer and everything is still there and it looks fine, I just can't get into it through the local PC it's being hosted on.. what gives? It's not something critical but a minor inconvenience is still an inconvenience, suggestions?

11 days later and this is still an issue, I am completely dumbfounded about what else to try. It's still just the one folder that I can't access on the local computer the HDD is mounted on, and I can still access it from any other computer on my LAN. I can't get to it in DOS either, it just says the folder is empty when there's really 40GB worth of data in there! I updated windows all the way to today now, rebooted, reinstalled the IDE drivers.. still dealing with this BS, so bump to see if anyone else can help.. and no I haven't used a Sony BMG disc.

check permissions on the folder's security tab, check event vewier for any errors, check disk management for problems.
