I can look at tthe drive using the command prompt. And
the chkdsk didnt show anything unexpected.
I've managed to setup shares to the folders through the
SBS console and from this I can access through the network
and copy the data to another PC. Iv'e now deleted the
drive and reloading, which may cure the symptoms, but not
why it occurred. So much for life being simple
