type the command below
CACLS D: /e /p %USERNAME%:f

That is if you need to back things up from the D:\ drive and reinstall Windows .

I'm going to reinstall Windows - its about time the PC had a new start so this seems a good opportunity.
Thanks very much for all your help VistaKing.
Ok so I've reinstalled windows but now the D drive isn't even visible when I open windows explorer. Argh!
Might be missing the driver for the chipset its plugged into . Does it show up in the BIOS ?
Hmm. Haven't checked that - wouldn't be on my radar to be honest! I've got an Asus Intel X58 Chipset Support DVD that came with the PC. Should I be running that?
Get the drivers from the Asus website not the disc . The disc has old drivers website has more updated than the disc .
What is the motherboard model ?
Lets see what BIOS version you're running
Open up command prompt by clicking on type CMD inside Search programs and files . Press [ENTER]
In command prompt enter the following
systeminfo | find "BIOS Version:"
Note
The | pipe symbol can be found using SHIFT + \ (just above the [ENTER] key)
