| | Hi, Have you performed any defragmentation of that disk recently? It might be worth a go. Regards, Golden |

| | It is worth it to scan your external hard drive for errors, so that you could make alternative arrangements in good time if errors are found. Free software here HDDGuru |

| | After running that check, you can also try a chkdsk. Follow these steps: 1. Click Start Orb, type cmd, then right-click on cmd and choose "Run as administrator". 2. Change to the drive you want to check (e.g. if it is E drive, type E: <hit enter>) 3. Type chkdsk /R <hit enter> This may take some time, so be patient with that. When it finishes, post the resultant text here for us to look at. Regards, Golden |
