BOAC,
Tried that, no positive result unfortunately. I've tried virus scan with both AVIRA and AVAST, nothing has shown up to resolve the problem. Thanks for the effort.
P.S tried to defrag and it called it a read only disk (makes sense really.)
PPS I altered the partition L and M sizes using EASEUS and have recovered the ability to write to M, but not L.
