you need to do a chkdsk x: /f on those drives. (x = the drive letter of the drives). It sounds like you have some file corruption on those drives.

Also a scandisk (with boxes to fix errors checked) does the similar thing as a chkdsk.

the "cannot open volume for direct access" is usually related to some sort of antivirus/antispyware program preventing any low level hard drive access.

You might need to use a bartpe bootcd, this will bypass the operating system preboot environment and should be able to do the chkdsk directly on the drive.

Worst case scenario you can remove the drives and slave them onto another computer to run a acandisk on them.
