OK, so I was siting on my computer Friday night, writing in Word Perfect, when suddenly the computer started acting incredibly sluggish. Well, that’s not such a big deal, I thought, so I restarted. But the problems is still there. Furthermore, I found out a couple hours latter that my computer seems to think my D drive (my second hard drive) is no longer formatted. I know for a fact it was working fine right before my computer started slowing down. I have run four different computer analysis programs, and they all say everything is OK, my computer is NOT running hot, all the cables are plugged in correctly, and the internet still runs fine, but I have restarted the computer several time, and it’s still sluggish (plus the HD thing.) I even used a system restore point made a few hours before things went to hell, but no luck. So, WTF is going on!? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Anti-virus software doing a scan?

Bring up the task manager and see what's running.

HaXX0rD? Someone hacked in and deleated the D drive!

Seriously though, if you have firewall running, have anti-virus updated and running, and you don't surf the web on an administrator account, it just might be that your Windows install is due for a reinstall.

Take your D drive to someone else's comp and see if they can read it.

Yea, a virus was the first thing I thought of. But nope, Norton says everything is A-OK.
I’m gonna try taking out the D Drive and see if that fixes the problem, and then see if it works in another comp.
