maybe the main problem was something completely unrelated.
for instance, I noticed a lot of users just copy-paste commands... so for instance they copy-paste this:
(ATTENTION: this command is not correct ! it is dangerous !)
ATTENTION: this command is not correct ! it is dangerous !
when doing so, what happens is that the redirect symbol ">" is writing to the file "hashcat.exe" and therefore destorying/corrupting the executable.
When the executable file is overridden, it's of course not working anymore and therefore you get an "Access Denied" error or similar.
I think this is pebcak and hashcat works with any type of disk (HDD, SDD, thumb drives etc <- not all of them are recommended of course, but it should work without problems anyway)
