Right Click My Computer or Computer and pick Manage browse to Storage and Disk Management. It should show you data for both drives there. What does it say about your second drive?

I would try a Check Disk on it next then it may have a bad sector.

In 70% of the cases, the bad sector is of logical nature (corrupted data), rather than physical (sector being actually damaged).

All fixable by chkdsk, unless the drive is actually dieing, at which point marking the bad sectors and carrying on with your life is no longer a solution - at that point you should be looking in saving your data, and moving on to another drive.
