[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1625441, member: 131855"] Good question Lisa. I've seen reports like that from some folks using third-party NTFS software such as Tuxera which is why I switched to the Paragon driver. If the drives are formatted HFS+ (Mac Formatted). I wouldn't use Windows utilities on them without knowing more about the underlying cause of the problem. First, it is not likely to recognize the drive. Second, it is likely to cause more data loss or other problems. Guys check the formatting on your problem drives as Lisa suggester. I had one recently with this behavior and it was showing as RAW rather than HFS or NTFS> [/QUOTE]
