I have an external HDD where I save everything on. A couple weeks ago when I opened it and it would show the root of the drive but then would freeze. Then when you click on it the window gets a white shade over the whole screen(this means that it is not responding and has froze). Then you have to either click on it again or click the X and a not responding bubble pops up and I have to close it. Every time I click on it this happens. It doesn't freeze the whole computer just the windows explorer tab that is open. What is also weird is I can install stuff to the drive. I have downloaded many things to the drive but cannot get to the drive. The other thing I noticed was that when I first open the drive it gets stuck on the root screen and I can see something that wasn't usually there. It is a file called w.l setup or something like that. It also somehow was on my desktop and flash drive (I deleted it from those two). When I had it on the flash drive it did the same thing. This is what I think is causing it. I can't delete because I can't open the drive and I can't format the drive (this is how I cleared it from my flash drive) because it will delete everything. I have over 300 Gbs of data on it. Can anyone help me?
If your wondering why I posted this in GD it's because there is no virus section or anything like it.
