notify user that target location does not allow drive access #82
Description
when selecting the drive location we want to inform the users that they can not access the location if the process does not have permission to write or read the location.
when doing a benchmark we can catch the exception shown an so invalid configs or access are understood immediately.

some thoughts here are:
- when the users starts the benchmark we can check before we start if we have read and write access to the specified location and notify that the run can not proceed until the user selects a different location.
- to be proactive when the location is selected we can check the file access then and inform the user if access is not allowed
