Re: bf2 drive destination problem

It could be that the HDD is removable. Some SATA ports on a motherboard can be used for external HDD's and are able to be removed while the PC is on. Have you configured any security settings on that drive?
Have you ran "dskchk /p" to look for error?

Re: bf2 drive destination problem

cheers for the info but i think i ve solved this problem.I payed around in the D drive properties and apparently you have to set the drive to be shared in order to access it.Bf2 seems to have installed ok .Thanks anyway.
