I am running Windows 8.1 on an SSD with storage on a second HDD.
The HDD is listed with its correct drive letter in File Explorer but attempting to open it gives 'Location not available' 'E:/ is not accessible' 'Access denied'.
'This PC' window does not show any of the normal details
The HDD shows OK in Manager, and a scan shows no problems.
If I replace that HDD with another, File Explorer recognises the replacement OK
Odd Stuff
If I print a pdf, Acrobat gives me the option to save to that drive, and it saves OK
If I try to save a word document there it fails to access
