Hi Andy,
Try a check disk on Drive C:. Follow these steps:-
1. Go to the Run menu by pressing the Windows Key with R.
2. At the run box, type "chkdsk c: /f" without the quotes. Remember, if
you have punctuation turned off, that is a forward slash followed by F after
chkdsk.
3. You should now be told that the type of the drive is NTFS, and that
CHKDSK can't run because the drive is locked. It will ask if you want to
check the disk the next time you restart the computer, press Y then Enter to
accept this.
4. Finally, restart the computer in the normal way. It will take longer to
restart, because it will cause your Drive C to be checked for errors. Just
wait for it to start, then see if you can access your folder.
I hope this helps.
All the best

Subject: [access-uk] Error message regarding drive C
Hi all -
I have a couple of folders of mp3 files on my hard drive [drive c], but when
I hit enter on the folder name, I get an error message saying:
The disc in drive C is not formatted, do you want to format it now, and a
yes and no button, so far I hit the no button, as I don't believe I want to
format my hard drive. Everything else is working ok on my HD, including
other folders of mp3 files.
It seems strange that the error message talks about the "disc in drive C" as
if it were a CD-ROM or something.
Anybody any thoughts?
Andy
