Do you know what this is?

I have 3 HDD, marked C,D and E.

When I try and access D or E drive via shortcut or My computer, the following error occurs.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Now the only way to access the drive is to go through Disk Management. Freshly installed XP. Also happened pre- reformat.

Another thing: drive E is full. I know it, I live with it. But the dang Windows reminds me of my full drive every so often. Anyway to disable that particular warning?

Nil display for weeks

For months, my desktop showed nil display during start up. Casing lights were normal, DVD ROMs and HDD running as per normal but LCD still on standby. After a few restart, the display would come on and everything runs normally. A few days ago, BSOD on start. Restart nil fix.

Question:
My 1st step would be a reformat. (haven't done yet, too lazy)

Do you think I have OS or hardware problem?
Which hardware lost likely have failed, mobo, GC or DVI cable?

Can anyone suggest where to buy toys other than at Toys 'r us in Klang Valley? Xmas shopping for 4-8yr olds.
