Is this on a LAN ? Check permissions of your account to these files.

Have you tried Tools/Database_Utilities/Repair_Database? If you can't even do that, you might go more general, and try Windows' ScanDisk (use Thorough and Automatically Fix Errors). This all depends, of course, on you permission status, as ahjanet mentioned.
