Okay, thought that my 3 mth old segate drive might be dying. It was making a strange clicking sound when accessing certain folders, and taking up to 30-60 seconds to open them. Checked online tools at seagate and SMART says it is ok. Did the short and long diagnostics, and it says it was fine. Ran a full scandisk and it was fine. Checked virus, spyware, etc. Everything fine.
Logged on under the only other user (which is not a system admin account), and guess what? It works fine. Made a new user account, and it is fine.
This is so strange. Only happens under the admin account, and only on certain directories.
Also, sometimes when it is waiting for the window to open on the folder you select, you will get a prompt saying that drive C: is not formated, and if you want to do so. My C: drive is my systems drive with XP on it. The drive which is giving me heck is G:.
Any suggestions? I really have no idea on this one...Thanks!
