accessing my hard disk drives

All of a sudden I can't access my hard disk drives through My Computer.
When I dbl click to open I get the message
C:\resycled\boot.com is not a valid win32 application
I can access the drives if I choose to explore. I find it odd the
spelling of resycled??? anyway......any help would be appreciated! :)

Explore.
Make sure you can see all files (hidden, system, etc.)
Look for "AutoRun.inf in the root of any hard disk drive and delete it.
Reboot (just for good measure.)

This never been an error of Hard drive access, this an error of an infected
HDD with a Trojan,
the Boot.com shouldn't be in this Location:
C:\resycled\boot.com
