    Hi Sid,

    My name is Igor, it's a pleasure for me to help others and I'll try to help you. I am merely a fellow user trying to provide insight and information that may be helpful to others.

    This may mean drive's fault. Is the letter assigned to the disk? If yes, please check it with chkdsk command and show a result.
