    Windows explorer not responding, volume E: not responding

    Don’t know what is wrong with the newly installed Vista computer. There was no problem during the OS installation. Also after installing the system, there was no issue installing the drivers. But right from here, whenever I try to copy my back up from external HDD, or try installing any software, the system freezes for few minutes and later I get an error message saying “Windows explorer not responding”. Sometimes it also says “Volume E: not responding.’

    Any idea what has went wrong? Any kind of help will be appreciated.

    The error “Windows explorer is not responding” can be understood because it happens when system is notgetting the required resources but why is it saying about “volume E.” What is there in Volume E? TO me it sounds like E is where your Temp directory located and such error may occur if it is not mounted.

    Thank you for your reply LeSueur. By the way, Volume E is my DDVD drive and as far as mounting is concerned, I check the device manager. It seems mounted properly. Any other help please?

    Well the only suggestion I can provide is to change your TEMP directory because even I suspect it is located in Volume E and hence you getting that error and problems. I don’t know how you can change the temp location. you will need to search for the same on Google or Microsoft. Do the same and hopefully problem will be solved.
