When I click on my computer, and then click on E:, I receive "Setup Initialization Error" cannot access required initialization file: 'E:PSTUDIO.MS_.' I then must right click on Icon & click on open, or explore to access files. Note: used program "Icon Packager" by Stardock, but still couldn't change above. I have two HD's, C:=8GB, & D:=4GB, however D: is partitioned into 3 drives, D,E, & F. I have not been able to locate "PSTUDIO.MS-." in the Registry or by using Find. 2nd Note: I believe thisprogram was deleted a long time ago. Any suggestions??

Either the Program was unable to be install on the partition space that was designated or the partition was used to store Perl Studio Member subscription files,and was removed

One you can right click on E: and choose to format the drive to use space

Using fdisk you can delete the partition if not needed.

SOULRIDER: RE;Drive Icon Problem - I cannot delete this partition as it has 3 yrs of Data stored on it! Thanks for the input. Also the D: is my swap file, and the F: stores my games.

If you can actually view the files on E, then at least you know the files are there and the directory structure is okay. If I'm understanding correctly, the problem is you can't just click the E drive icon and get to them.

If this is right, is there an autorun.inf file on the E drive? If so, rename it to autorun.bak and then try it.

Hope this helps...

GM TURNER: Thank you for your answer. After changing the E:autorun.inf file to E:autorun.bak, and rebooting the CPU, 18 months of frustration disappeared. Again I thank you.
