Hi
While I'm trying to open folders in my external hard disk receiving "access denied" message
I used to have HP security - finger unlocking program in my computer.
After I opened my compouter I could work on my laptop folders
but if I insert a external disk, it was asking each 15 minutes to unlock for access
Therefore I removed the program today ...At that time hard disk was inserted in my computer and could work w/o any access requirment.
However after removed I can not open it anymore. I tried to re-start bu it did not work
Thanks in advance for your help
