January 12, 201016 yr Hi All,I have a NexStar 3 External 3.5 inch Hard Drive enclosure which I have been using since 2006 without any problems until now.This is an 80 gb HD,of which only about 15 GB have been used.The other day I tried to add stuff for backup,and I was promptly advised that the disk was full ! Of course this is not so and would like to know how to fix this new problem.Can someone help? Thanks. Van
January 12, 201016 yr The other day I tried to add stuff for backup,and I was promptly advised that the disk was full !Is it possible that "stuff" involved a file bigger than 4Gig and that the drive is formatted FAT32 ?
January 16, 201016 yr Author What happens if you try to open it to see its contents?Hi again,When I open my External HD enclosure,no problem there! I see all my stuff and, I can open Folders,extract ect...the problem is I can't add anything in there!This being a 80 gb HD,I checked the properties,and it shows 56.7 gb used!I then checked in the Partitionand it shows 74.53 gb capacity with 13 gb free space! What do you think? Thanks

Thanks
January 16, 201016 yr Author Maybe lost clusters or some other corruption, due to a prior bad shutdown?Hi again,I woud'nt know how to check something like this,but as I mentioned previouly...I can open Folders,extract ect...the problem is I can't add anything in there!Thanks.
