Worried that drive is not accessible in Windows 10? The hard drive is one of the most important components of a computer. Hardware is not just any peripheral that lets users store their data on but is more than just that.
Most of the time when the hard drive crashes it also brings down the entire operating system since the system files are all stored on a hard drive.
Well, with the advent of the SSD, the problems on the hardware end might have been subdued but still, error messages are not something uncommon.
In this segment, let’s have a look at one of the most common problems plaguing the system – E: is not accessible, access denied.
Users have been greeted with this message quite a few times and while sometimes a simple reboot will do the trick, most often it needs some thorough troubleshooting.
Also, if the error message is displayed for an external drive one can simply reconnect the same. However if the same occurs for an internal drive things start getting sloppy.
The error message could have been displayed due to many reasons. For one, the hard drive might not be able to communicate with the operating system.
Also, the hardware might be suffering from actual damage to its innards. The list further extends to power failures to the hard drive, virus/malware attack, or corrupt file system.
Therefore, whenever someone wants to make changes to a file/folder on a damaged hard disk the error message is displayed. The same message will also be flashed if one tries to access a file on the drive.
In all likelihood, the hard drive is blocked and users need to follow some steps to recover the same.
This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops, and tablets running the Windows 10 operating system (Home, Professional, Enterprise, Education) from all supported hardware manufactures, like Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo, and Samsung.
