Ok, I am having this weird problem on my computer and I am slowly becoming pretty baffled as to what’s going on here. I would really appreciate some help here! Sorry for being too verbose here but I am just trying to explain the full scope of the problem here.
I have several disk drives on my pc – running windows 98se. this is a new hard drive i bought (a seagate) which i formated and have had no problems with up until a few days ago. essentially i am using it (or was) as a file server… mostly text files, pictures, music, etc… obviously this is a home machine. Anyway… I was working fine until a few days ago (and I had changed nothing, installed nothing new) I discovered I can no long copy or move files to or from this disk drive. I can see it fine. I can see all the files/folders on it fine. I can even maneuver through the file/folders fine too. I can even open all the files too. All my other drives are working fine, and windows appears to be working ok too. When I try to move/copy to or from this drive, i get some kind of weird violation/share error – saying something like it’s already in use or I can’t copy/move from/to it. There is tons of free space on all my drives (just trying to do some organizing). I do not have a network with multiple pcs, so nobody should be accessing anything… Again all my other drives are fine. any ideas? help please!
oh right, almost forgot to mention – i have already tried running an extensive scan disk on it and everything turned up fine. thanks again!
