Hello
Hope I can describe enough to give you guys enough symptoms to work with. I have 2 drives ... Drive C: 80GB, and I've added another, Drive F: 250GB (was about a year ago) I have a folder/file that I can't gain access to. The "tree" expands to: F:\Documents and Settings\Bob ... There are numerous other folders that work fine With that particular folder/file, when try to open, I get the following alert box: Local Disk (F "Is not accessible." "Access is denied" I ran 3 different type of virus scans ... I ran 3 different types of spyware. I've done a chkdsk. Nothing has helped. That particular drive won't optimize or defragment. There are numerous folders and files that I HAVE to find some way to get to. Does anybody have ANY ideas on what I can do?? I've tried numerous FAQ's, Kelly's-Korner, etc, and none have addressed this particular problem. I appreciate your help and look forward to your replies. ---25or6to4--- |

Thanks for your reply. I can't get into that folder or the files that are in it I can expand the "tree" and under it, have tried to pull some files out singly, but it still blocks me. I am the only Administrator, and the only one that uses this pc. I'm still stuggling ... @&$#%& "philo" wrote: "-- 25or6to4 --" wrote in message news Hello Hope I can describe enough to give you guys enough symptoms to work with. I have 2 drives ...
