"Maximum number of secrets exceeded"

Could you have misread that? Could it have been
'Maximum number of bad sectors exceeded'?

That would mean your drive is no longer a viable data storage device.

I also am getting that error starting today. When I try to access my external or 2nd internal hard drives I get "The maximum number of secrets that may be stored in a single system has been exceeded." Any suggestions are welcome. I did a virus scan with AVG and ran CCleaner which had no affect on the error. I am running Windows XP.
