That would indicate hard drive or hard drive controller failure.

is there a way i can fix it?

It would depend on which part is actually failing.

You may be able to solve it by checking your downloads drive for errors (Properties of the drive in "My Computer" -> Tools tab) but if it's the controller or cabling, that won't solve it.
