I have a VM set up with SQL 2008 R2 SP2. It has twi instances running on the box.
As it is my dev box both instances use the same service account and they both use the same moutn piont for dat and log files. Now up until yesterday I had no issues creating databases. To day I find that on one instance I can create a database on the E:\Data with no issues. WHen I try and create a database on the other instance it fails with:
Date 5/31/2013 11:08:13 AM
Log SQL Server (Current - 5/31/2013 10:57:00 AM)
Source spid96
Message

How ever if I change the drive to the D:\ it works. I can not see why it would work for one instance and not the other when they are both running under the same service account etc.
Any ideas ?
TIA !
