    Hi guys

    I have 4 hard drives hooked up in my comp to a ultra 133 controller.
    The first two drives give me access but the second two do not
    I had access to all 4 drives a few days ago until i used system restore.
    During the process system restore mentioned these other drives (something about files) which i ignored and went ahead with restore
    When i rebooted windows ran chkdsk on drives F:&G:Now when i try to access these drives a window pops up and says
    H::\\ is not accessable
    The process cannot access the file because another process has locked a portion of the file
    It puts the same message up if i try to open F:
    When i go into disk management it shows all drives as follows
    volume layout type file system status cap freespace %free fault tolerance
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    C: Partition Basic NTFS Healthy 40.28GB 32.83GB 81% NO

    D: " " " " 193.48GB 191.97 99% "

    E: " " " " 233.76GB 26.29GB 11% "

    F: " " " 149.05GB 149.05 100% "

    H: " " " 111.79GB 111.79GB 100% "

    AS you can see it is showing drives H&F as total free space when in actual fact these drives are full of data which i need to access
    Where can i go in windows to unlock this process
    btw when chkdsk checks the disk it says insufficient space to recover files

    Can anyone help me to access these drives I tried undoing system restore but it makes no difference
