The reasons for errors of access todisks, can be conditionally divided into several groups. One of them is the unpreparedness of the drive itself to work with the operating system. Before writing or reading from such a medium, markup must be marked on it, which will be understood by the version of OS you are using. This process is called "formatting" and is implemented either by the system itself, or by programs specifically designed to work with this type of disk. For example, if you insert an unformatted floppy disk or optical disk into the appropriate reader and try to access it using the file manager, you will receive an error message in response. Another group of reasons for unavailability of the drive include problems with the user's access rights. The security policy that manufacturers put into the operating system, splits all computer users into groups, each of which is allowed certain actions, while others are prohibited. In particular, you can also close the access to the files of a disk for the user whose account you used to log on to the system. Especially often this problem occurs when users access the OS system disk by users who are not members of the system administrators group. All these rights are set by the administrator, but there may be a malfunction in the operating system itself, which will lead to corruption of the access table entries and, accordingly, to disk inaccessibility. The third group includes errors resulting from lack of access to the disk for technical reasons. For example, if it is a network drive, it can be displayed in your file manager, but the network computer where it is hosted can be disabled. In this case, when you try to access a network drive, you receive an error message. A similar error will be thrown by the operating system when you try to access a DVD drive installed in the reader, which can only work with CDs, etc.
