A corrupt or missing boot sector will cause such kind of problem.

To fix the boot sector, you may refer to http://www.ptdd.com/partition-table-doctor/help/fixboot.htm

If it still can not be solved, you have to recover all the data out and then format the partition as the system indicates so that you can enter the partition again.

You'd better recovery files, after that reformat the partiton to ntfs, then you can access the drive again.

I found a data recovery software for beta (free), which compatible with latest Windows 7, it can recover files even if you deleted the files from Recycle Bin, formatted the partition, the partition lost, partition became RAW, partition cannot be accessed, etc. I have tried it, works like a charm. It ends at Feb 2010, download it quickly from http://www.easeus-software.com/drw-beta/
