I am pretty sure I never tried to burn any files from the external to CD/DVD, never. And the path may had been to my internal HDD but I was able to pull what I need from the external hdd from the link. Very weird stuff, but hey I got what I needed off it, now I can format it. Appreciate the info on the quick removal..have a super weekend. ----- Original Message ----- From: <recklessmaverick@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, April 19, 2013 11:23 AM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Computer won't reconize my external HDD..well? > At some point you were trying to burn files from the > external hard drive to a CD or DVD.
