>>>I'm having a strange problem with my E: drive, which is not partitioned and a separate drive by itself.

>>>When I click on it or its plus-sign in Explorer the system just sits there and I cannot start or stop anything. I can get the Task Manager using Crtl-Alt-Del but no reactions if I try to end a task or shutdown.

>>>If I just rt-click on the drive in Explorer I *DO* get the properties displayed!!!

>>>However, I can access the drive normally in SAFE MODE.
>>>I ran a chkdsk on it and some repairs were reported.
>>>I have removed (under safe mode) the specification to have the page file on it.
>>>Still no joy.

>>>Any ideas as to what's up?
