Newbi here - Ive done a search with no luck. I have a maxtor one touch 120 gb external hard drive. it has about 200 folders on it all with jpg images within them. I just recently tried to access a folder that has about 25 jpg images in it and it gave me a I/O device error. It wont open! I right clicked to check the properties and it says 0 bytes. I found 3 other folders with the same problem. the other 197 folders are fine. For now that is. Is this a folder problem or a hd problem and is there a fix for it.
