saving in E And D drives

[john williams]

I'm getting a message you don't have permission to save in this drives,
something I used to be able to do. And some of previously saved files on CD
are marked read only.

I did have a new hard drive fitted last year, has the settings on computer
been changed or are D and E drives faulty.

If so, can a novice replace them.

No, you appear not to have the proper permissions to use them as stated.
