I use external drives to download to and share files with the LW community, if you are getting "Disk Problem" errors on an external with 129GB free then obviously something is wrong.

I've got a few (silly) questions to ask, you have not supplied much info, so here goes:

1) Can LW see your external drive, i.e. via Tools/Options have you made LW aware of your ex HD.

2) Have you formatted your external using NTFS as your prefered filing system?

3) Have you partitioned your external?

4) Have you created any Directories/Folders on your external?

5) I presume you are an XP user?

6) Are you running USB2 or 1.1?

7) Are your drive letters correct, i.e. each letter is allocated to a single drive and not one letter to 2 or more drives?

8) Is your external constantly on or do you switch it on and off when you switch your PC on and off?

9) How old is your drive?

That's enough for now, I may have some supplementaries later on.
