Guest yort Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 Nothing has change in my usage of the pc. Out of the blue, my pc can detect my usb devices such as ext hdd, but when I try to open it by double click it, it say 'access denied'. Its the same for my thumbdrive. I have checked the bios (usb controllers enabled) and in device manager, it seems ok (usb devices are enabled) and there is no password protection on my usb devices. Any idea what is wrong with my pc? Thanks
Guest Martin X. Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 Re: access denied for all usb devices Did you recently map a network drive to D: or something high up in the alphabet? Some USB storage devices will try to use the first available drive letter that is not assigned to another storage device. So if you mapped D: to a network share, the device will try to use D:, but you won't get an error about it. Anyway, if this is the case, change the drive mapping to something lower in the alphabet, like Z:. -- Regards, Martin X.

Guest Martin X. Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 Re: access denied for all usb devices If you don't have a mapped drive, then I'm not sure what the problem is. The solution that I suggested is only if you have a mapped network drive. Regards, Martin X.
