Secondary drive. I THINK when you click on the drive, at the bottom or the drive itself it will say something about click to open drive. I remember it happened to me about 100 yrs ago so I not totally sure. Or ask any teenager & they will fix it for you before you go out and spend money.

Thanks Bev.......... in frustration yesterday I took the side panel off and the inside,I am ashamed to say, was filthy with dust and fluff that had been elecrostatically attracted .......... so I cleaned it out with a brush and hand held vacuum cleaner. When I reassembled it it worked like a charm.. I should have known this as I religiously clean the filters in my air conditioners on a quarterly basis and my poor old PC had never been cleaned in almost five years.
