Try to open a file - error: "file does not exist" when it DOES exist
I stored some files on my D drive which is an external hard drive ...
Lately I have had this happen a number of times with totally unrelated files in different places on the D drive.
I try to open them (in Excel, but I don't think that matters) and I get an errors saying the file does not exist and to make sure it wasn't deleted or renamed ...
However, if I copy that file to folder on my desktop it works just fine.
Is this a hardware problem with my external drive? It is not true of all the files ... for instance there are say 19 similar files in a folder and maybe 2/3 of them give me errors while 1/3 do not.
