Creo cannot access hard drive.
Creo cannot access hard drive.
(OP)
This is very strange. A new one I have never seen with any program. Creo 3 can see all the computer's drives and can access them all...except one. The D:\ drive. It recognizes that it is there, but when I try to access it, it thinks it is empty and the folder/file list is blank. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing Creo, to no avail. Reboots do not solve the problem. Could an environmental variable be the culprit?

Typically the only files/directories PTC Parametric doesn't see are ones with spaces and capitalized letters.

"Text files no go. To Creo THREE, D:\ looks like a newly formatted drive with nothing on it yet. Creo 2 and all other programs see the contents just fine. F'ing weird."

"Error writing file. Check disk space or write permission."
I have plenty of disk space and the permissions have not changed, and are identical to those of my f:\ drive which Creo sees just fine.
The only differences between these two drives are:
1. Drive d:\ is a logical partition on a physical drive that also contains my primary c:\ partition.
2. Drive f:\ is the only partition on a separate physical drive.
3. Drive d:\ is over 1TB in size. c:\ and f:\ are easily under 1Tb.

I found that if I change my working directory in Creo 3 to some folder on d:\, that all works fine...So long as I do not go up the directories back to root d:\. I can open and save anything fine on d:\ so long as I do not try to access the root directory.
