Re: "cannot open volume for direct access" - error message re chkdsk

I had this same problem with my Maxtor One Touch external drive, and tried everything mentioned here. Eventually, I just unplugged the drive, and plugged it back in (while computer still up), and windows re-adjusted itself to recognize the drive correctly. I have no idea, either, what is causing the problem. This isn't the first time I've had to do this.
