external HD only reads in one direction?
Hello,
I hope i can bump in here with something that's really been bothering me and has cost me hours of googling and trying things...
A couple of weeks ago i bought a new Acer laptop with windows 7 (64bit). It has one very annoying issue: whenever i want to drag (or copy, or send-to) a file on it, it gives me this error message: "could not find this item. This is no longer in 'computer', verify the item's location and try again".
This is driving me mad. The file IS there in THAT location. I also get the same error when i try to save something directly on it in fx.Photoshop.
I googled around and noticed people often get this message with an undeletable file.. but nowhere i found this moving issue.
The disk gets recognised, i can get files from it to my laptop, but just not the other way around. I've also tried 2 other external HD's, all have the same issue.
Getting a bit desperate here... can anyone of you provide me with some insights?
Many thanks in advance!
(some extra info/issue: when i rightclick the ext. disk and go to properties>tools and want to scan it for errors, the menu comes up fine, but when the actual scan starts the window just closes again and nothing happens; in the 'defragmenter' the disk isn't even listed)
