External hard drive "Cannot find the specified file"
It wasn't a heat issue or the a bunch of corrupt files. I don't think I created a partition on the drive the first time around, just formatted it. So I deleted the partition, made a new primary one, and reformatted the drive. So far everything is looking good!- baxterb23

External hard drive "Cannot find the specified file"
So I purchased a new Western Digital 320 IDE hard drive that was on sale and an AcomData 3.5" enclosure. I put everything together and format the drive to NTFS (for Windows XP). I start transferring files and everything is going smooth. I had planned on moving about 200 gigs of stuff into this...- baxterb23
