Luxo_Jr Maniac (V) Inmate From: Stuck inside a Pixar short film Insane since: Apr 2001	posted 06-09-2005 20:26 Gday everyone! I go to access a CD and comes up with an error message window saying, "F:\ is inacessible. Access is denied." I've tampered with the security settings and all that for the drive but nothing works. Looked around on Google a bit too but nothing seems to relate exactly to my problem. The unusual aspect of it is, after a restart, it's all ok and it's only been doing this for the past few days where a bizarre looking icon appears for the drive with a red mark on it. Anyone have a clue what's happened and how to rectify it?!?! "You know you have been doing 3d too long when you walk into a church and think, "God, the polycount of this place must be huge!"
