Hey guys,
I have an external HD, formatted for Fat 32 MS-Dos. Since recently i can no longer copy files from this disk to any other disk, be another external HD or the internal HD. I can however copy files on it, open files from it, change names etc etc.

It claims i have full read and write permissions, as i have on all other disks (naturally).

Anybody any idea what causes this issue (to prevent it in the future) or possible solutions without formatting the disk? (i rather not open 300 GB worth of files to save 'm all manually on a new location)

Cheers, Valentine
