Checking properties of the G drive,
Type:Local Disk
File System: RAW
This is not how it was formatted when I installed the drive?

Let's concentrate on the G drive. What was on it? Was it critical? If not, please just format it with FAT32.
Do you even know which drive it is? You haven't said what it is yet. You can find out in the properties for the drive under the Hardware tab.

When are you planning on telling us what type of drive it is? You haven't given us a clue. We know that the K drive is a flash drive, but that's not the problem drive.
Oh - you don't need to keep quoting my posts. A simple Reply will do. | |

They also run -- until you take out the old, "useless" C drive... . Also programs that have files (like prefs. js in Firefox) that were copied over from the old drive but still specify some directory on C to look in for stuff. |

You've made my point - it's more trouble than it's worth and it is the result of a botched installation. | |
