    Can't Access E: Local Drive.


    For a little while now, some games on my pc haven't been started on steam. I found that it was download on my Local Drive E: but I cant access my E drive anymore. If there is any chance that I can get directions on how to get into this drive, that would be a great help.Picture of what happens when I double click the drive:

    E: is not accessible. Access is denied

    Further to my previous posting regarding problems with accessing the E drive.

    I have since found that my E drive operates normally in Safe mode. On checking Properties →Security →Group or User Names , both SYSTEM & Administrators (Desktop-xxxxxxx\Administrators) are listed but they do not have any Permissions selected. I have ticked all except the bottom option (Special Permissions) for both. Having done that it ‘appears’ that both drives now have similar permissions. However when I leave Safe mode the problem returns, access to the E drive is not possible and there is nothing listed under Group or User Names.
