    [Help] External Hard Disk error: Folder Won't Load !!


    Hey all,

    Since a few weeks I am facing this error. Whenever I try to browse Movies folder from my External Hard Disk the folder won't load !!

    I tried creating another movie folder in a different partition but the same problem persists there !

    It only happens with the folder which contain movies ! Rest all the folders containing pictures, music and other documents run fine !!

    I tried to scan the folder for viruses but the speed was so slow that I couldn't complete the task ( 100 KB/s scan speed )

    For better understanding of my problem please see the image attached !

    Note: Never faced such kind of problem in Internal hard disk !

    Thanks in Advance
    Siddharth :)

    See if turning off of indexing of drive contents solves the problem.

    Which option to select ?

    1. Apply changes to G:/ only or
    2. Apply changes to G:/subfolders and files

    First I chose option no 2 for F: drive but it didn't work
    But for G: I selected option no. 2 and it worked !!

    So any suggestions how get the folder in drive F: working properly ?

    Excellent.

    Now did you at one time have XP, Vista, or Win 7 installed on G:?

    I ask because the partition is marked as Active.
