Had a blue screen on start up today.....and yesterday Call of Duty World at War froze....
This was the error message....
Can anyone explain what this means and how to fix it...?
Pressing on the link just leads to the Nvidia Driver page....

Thats' an issue with an HDD driver - I assume only since you have updated Nvidia drivers?
Best bet is to Google referring to your specific system - there's certainly at least one update out there to fix this on Nvidias site (not sure if it is applicable in your case tho)...
This may help:

Tony, you've almost certainly got an nForce motherboard which accounts for the nVidia drivers for your HDD.

Right click desktop and open Nvidia control panel.
When open, select help, system information.
Alternatively start-progs-nvidia-control panel
Also check windows update history in case this is the culprit - you could also just try a rollback, but you should get the correct drivers from Nvidia
