you haven't been listening sony cds by any chance?

from wikipedia

the rootkit, which could lead to system crashes (leading to the blue screen of death) and that inexpert attempts to uninstall the software can lead to the windows operating system failing to recognize existing drive(s). The Sony rootkit is designed to hide any files, registry keys and processes starting with the string $sys$, making it very easy for writers of worms and other malware to also hide their files by simply using the same name. Within weeks there were several trojans and worms taking advantage of this functionality in machines already compromised by the Sony rootkit.

so if you had a trojan or worm using this system of infection it could hide you're drives.

this is the closest thing I found on your problem
