What was the error message? Could be related to file and folder permission.

Try taking ownership of your external hd, use shortcut below:
Add "Take Ownership" to Explorer Right-Click Menu in Win 7 or Vista - How-To Geek

Note do not change ownership of system or other folders if you don't know what you doing. It could seriously mess up your windows installation.

Thanks for that,Changed over too the usb port that the pen drive was working fine on.all seems well now!!
