Re: Need help: django-admin.py startproject [projectname] creates directory which I cannot access

Lets troubleshoot:

* Does the directory show up when you do a *dir* command in projectdir ?
* Can you do anything on the *mysite* directory - can you rename it,
or even delete it ?
* Can you see it in File explorer
* Can you manually create a directory in your *projectdir* ?
* Can you create a different projectdir - and run *django-admin
startproject mysite* in there ?

My gut feeling is that this is a diskdrive/OS type issue - rather than
Django specific

You may have a corrupted directory - or a bad section of disk; try the
troubleshooting steps above first.
