I am having problems with my Western Digital Hard Drive.

The computer recognizes the drive and has assigned it a letter. I can see the drive in Windows Explorer and I can see all the files on the drive.

It will work for a few minutes, letting me open and play files (mostly mp4 and avi). But then when I try to add certain files to my iPod, the iPod starts to add the file, then stops. And after, i can't open any of the files. The same things happens after I start to play one file in RealPlayer and then try to play another.

I still see them in Windows Explorer, but the message I get from RealPlayer is that files can't be located. Shutting down and restarting the hard drive isn't working.

Last night I hooked the drive up to another computer in the the house and tried to move as many files as I could off of it. No problems except that certain files it said it couldn't move.

Any suggestions or ideas?
