It's an indication that there's a problem with that particular piece of hardware. You might try going to the website of the manufacturer of the drive and see if they've got a downloadable driver for that device. If so, download and install the driver. That ought to help.
Another tactic you can do is to use the Device Manager to get to the listing for that drive, right click on it, and choose "uninstall". Once you've done that, reboot the computer and Windows should see the drive as "new hardware" and reinstall the driver from its own driver list. Good luck.
