No doubt, this is some problem with recognizing the ownership of the drive.
I would copy some file on there, and 'take ownership' to see if that helped.
My second drive as backup has no problem with complete PC backup. I am
thinking it's a problem with 'disk type', but since my 'firefly' flash drive
is recognized by backup, I'm not sure it's a USB issue (the most often
complained item on this whole board)
My guess would be it's some driver problem. I would use device manager to
uninstall, then 'scan for hardware changes' on all that stuff.
