Hello !
Since one week, I can hardly access to one of my hard drive on Windows (Vista). It takes a very long time to open a folder or Windows crashs.
But TestDisk can open the folders on this hard drive instantly !
How can I solve this problem ?

Sounds like a bad HDD to me.
Open up Event Viewer and check the system events. If you see a lot of errors about bad blocks, you probably have a bad HDD.
First, try to backup everything you can salvage to DVD or an external USB HDD. Then run the HDD manufacturer's diag util and do a scan to see if the HDD is bad.
