The OP said that it's on a Windows Server 2008 system.  However, he has not 
specifically stated whether or not the indexes in question are on a local 
drive or a network share.

In either case, I might suggest checking the Windows event logs to see if 
there were any network/disk errors recorded around the time of the failure. 
  (Both locally and the server, if on a network share.)
