I made a folder called "Other" where I put a lot of junk videos in. There are about 10 good videos, and the rest are corrupt. The rest of my (external (made from an external kit) hard drive works perfectly, however, when I move any video file to "Other" or move folders full of video into there, they become unplayable.
Windows Media Player give the error message "Windows Media Player cannot access the file. The file might be in use, you might not have access to the computer where the file is stored, or your proxy settings might not be correct."
It's about a 200 gig hard drive (186 gig when formatted). Keep in mind that all of my other files outside of this "Other" folder work. And I cannot move the "corrupted" files out of there.
I temporarily fixed these files a few weeks ago by using the Check Disk tools with automatically fix file system errors and scan for and attempt of recovery of bad sectors. That didn't work this time.
What's up with this hard drive?
Thanks for your time!
