Un-*FU**ING*_believable........ 
have just rebooted the machine and now find it has reverted back to being 
unaccessible.It had a CD_RW disc in it that I had copied some stuff off 
earlier today and now will not read it or any other disk.

Get error message in windows as follows..

G:\ is not accessible
The device is not ready

Retry		Cancel

So now am back to square one again.
