E: is not accessible. Access is denied
I have a problem with my computer and I cannot blame Microsoft or the man in the moon or anyone else, sadly it is self-inflicted. I have 2 SSD’s installed in this PC. C is the system drive and E is my back up drive which I use to make regular bootable clones. Additionally I save certain folders to an external USB device. Both drives appear in File Explorer, however when I click on E I get:-
Location is not available
E:\ is not accessible
Access is denied
I suspect this happened after I ran sfc/chkdsk on the E drive earlier today…
The E drive appears on the Disk Management screen and tells me that the partitions are healthy… I suspect this problem is related to permissions but I’m at a loss on how to proceed. This does not affect the running of the computer but I’d obviously like to get things back to normal. Any help would be welcome – and I promise to be more careful next time !
