i purchased an WD external hard drive about a month ago, I also own a teac 40Gb external hard drive. They were all working fine until a couple of days ago.
My computer has stopped recognising the correct hard drive size. I'm not talking about a small percentage of the drive but in the case of the WD 160gb of size. When I right click 'properties' it says that I have 160gb of free space (it also says this in disk management). Yet when i try to copy something it says that the disk is full. The same thing has happened with my 40gb drive. I connected both drives to my girlfriends computer and they worked fine.
As far as I know I have windows service pack 2 so I'm completely baffled as to why this has happened. Please help
