Hi
This is the most perplexing issue that I have come across with Windows. In order to give the situation is going to be a bit longwinded but necessary in order to understand what is happening.
1 I have a Win 8 machine 64bit to which is attached a network drive in a D-link ShareCenter (NAS320) caddy. This is used for media files and has on it the following folders 3D - Feature Films - TV and the Recycle Bin. Each of the first 3 folders is subdivided ie in the TV folder are two folders Drama - Comedy.
2 I have a Smart TV which finds the network drive (NAS320). It also finds the folders mentioned above.
3 I created a folder containing 8 files (a TV Series) on my PC and copied this into the network drive TV - Drama - new folder.
4 When searching for this folder on the Smart TV it is missing, everything else is there but not that folder.
5 Back on the PC I go into the network drive TV - Drama and take the files from the (missing) folder, and copy them back onto the drive outside of the folder so the path is TV - Drama and the loose files.
6 The TV can now see the files.
7 Delete the new folder, copy the loose files onto a memory stick and insert into my Win 7 machine, which is not on the network.
8 Create new folder - copy the files into it from the memory stick - insert this into the Win 8 machine - copy this folder into the TV - Drama folder.
9 Go to TV it finds the new folder this time BUT only 7 of the 8 files that were copied over to it.
10 Checking on the PC all the files are there and were copied over correctly.
Has anybody any idea what the heck is going on here or had a similar happening. If so please let me know before I lose what little hair I have left.
Thank You
