Hey Gurus, I wonder if you can help me out with this problem, I have 2 500gig hard drives, one with 500 movies on it, the other with a collection of Software,Games,E-Books e.t.c. totalling about 300 gig, needless to say they are to me Priceless,
lent the movie one to a friend and got it back but am unable to open it,so i switched to the other HD in case it was a driver problem,now i cannot acces that one either!
Here is the info in the "windows device timeout"
"The specified I/O operation on\Device\Harddisk5\DR16 was not completed before the time-out period expired" with the options to cancel,try again,continue
No matter which one i choose i come back to this message, i think they may have come in contact with a machine with the autorun virus. I installed Autorun remover and it found it on a usb 160 gig HD which i had connected earlier to check my theory ( thought that if autorun had infected my comp,it would attach itself) and it did but was erased.
When i run Auto remover on system start-up and turn on the HD, Windows freezes and then autorun doesn`t respond.
My thinking would be that the HD`s are too big to be opened on autorun, but i seem to be clueless as what to do next, any of you Guru`s able to shed some light on this?
Sorry if this is longwinded but am trying to give as much info as i can.
