    Unrecognized disk drive


    Hello
    I have a strange problem : one of my disks has 2 partitions (G: and HUnrecognized disk drive :)
    When I look at Disk Management, they are both displayed but I can only open H:
    I get a "refused access" when I try to open G:
    I open a comman windows as administrator - There I can access G:, list its content ...
    I ran Chkdsk on G: No problem detected
    I can even copy some folders from G: to another disk
    So the disk and the partition are not corrupted
    But as soon as I exit from the Command windows, the access to G: is refused (within Explorer, within a "normal" command window ...)
    Any idea to fix this ? Thanks Have a good day

    :)
