Hello,
I installed a new Western Digital 80GB 8MB cache 7200 hard drive about a week ago.
I hooked everything up and installed it and it worked fine. Its set as my slave drive (F:) and is just used for storing data such as my personal videos and pictures.
About 1 week later I am now experiencing this weird problem. I try to axx my F: though My Computer/Explorer and a message pops up saying how Internet Explorer came across an error and it must be shut down...heres a picture of what it looks like:

Now heres the weird thing, if I go to windows explorer and try to search a sub directory in my hard drive it works fine. I can even open my videos in media player etc. But if I click on my F: in explorer that error message once again appears and shuts everythng down.
If anyone could help me I would extremely appreciate it. Thank you.
