I have an external HDD, 2T. UsingWin. 10, I have had it for about a year and have lots of programs on it. I don't know what occurred, but when I try to open it I get this message M/:is not available. Access denied. In control panel it shows a healthy partition. Need some advice. T.I.A.
If i didn't know better i'd swear you're getting paid some sort of credit in another forum for coming up with answers to other users problems,in which case i want a cut,we can negotiate my cut later. 1-I'd boot into linux first to see if that can get to it.use a live cd if you don't have it installed already distrowatch.com 2-run crystal disk info on it to see if the drives faulty 3-remove hdd from housing & place in a known good housing or directly into pc as a slave 4-if it's under warranty take it back,this is why it pays to have more than 1 hdd or more including a free cloud storage,to create mirror data 5-run a data recovery program on it like recuva or something from easeus or minitool.My personal favorite is GetDataBack,however it's expensive & not free with limited functionality in trial
Look at the post from 'sharktooth' in case it's just a permissions setting. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...ccess-is/e4fd2e7e-ec07-47c9-8677-e4be071e6122
yeah 20% is acceptable Attar may be on to it you can boot direct from a cd or dvd that has linux on it without the need to install http://www.distrowatch.com Deft =purpose built for hardware detection.Forensic type OS PCLinuxOS Puppy = any version Quirky Linux Lite
