  1. D drive is showing, but access denied.


    Hello, So suddenly after restarting my PC, the D: drive won't open, and apps installed there cannot be accessed. It appears in the drives list, and in my computer folder, but when I try to open it, it shows me "access denied".Tried every solution I found:- Tried going to properties to change the security settings, but there is no tab for security. - Tried error checking in properties, it fails to run. - Tried chkdsk /r, chkdsk f/.. and it shows me "the type of the file system is ntfs" and then does nothing.PLEASE HELP, how can I fix this? BTW, it's 870 EVO SATA 2.5" SSD 2TB. Windows 11.

    :)

  2. Local Drive D is showing "access denied"

    I have a Lenovo 100S-14IBR-80R9. It came with 32 GB of SSD. However, recently I started getting message that I need to update Windows 10 and that my OS will not work after 10th Apr 2018. When I tried updating, it gave me a message that I needed 8 GB space
    - there was no way that I could find 8 GB in a drive which had only 500 MB left. As such, I took following steps:

    • I added a 250 GB SATA SSD but the added space was useless to this purpose since it needed space in C drive and so the system continued asking me to clean up space so I could free up 8 GB in C drive for the update.
    • Recovering 8 GB in C drive was impossible so I re-installed Windows by media creation tool and after the installation, 250 GB drive has been designated C drive and the original 32 GB drive was no longer visible in windows explorer though in disk management,
      it shows up but all options for 32 GB partition are grayed out.
    • As such, I installed mini partition wizard and assigned a label D to original 32 GB drive. Now it became visible in Windows explorer with D label but when I click on this D drive, I get "access denied".
    • I reformatted this drive as both FAT32 and NTFS to no avail.
    • Tried Windows 10 troubleshooter for Hard Drive and Shared folders to no avail.
    • Adjusted User Access Control to no avail.
    • I adjusted the security settings of D drive to no avail.
    • I have used diskpart to set id=07 but keeps saying location not available.

    So, before almost giving up and re-installing my windows all over again, here is my last attempt to find any potential approach that I might have missed.
