    I can't see that just 'Use Sharing Wizard' but it's selected.

    Lets try this

    Open an elevated command prompt once again.

    type the command below

    CACLS D: /e /p %USERNAME%:f


       Note
    %USERNAME% is the account you want to give permission to



    Take a look at this link below

    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.

    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)
