Title: Files/folders in root of HDD not saving
Post by: hobomasterxxx on December 04, 2009, 09:53:19 am

I am experiencing a rather bizzare problem. Everytime I save a file or folder to the root of my main Hardrive, it will be magically gone as soon as I restart the PC. If I save it into a pre-existing folder on the drive however, it stays. This problem doesn't occur on my external HDDs. Any sage advice on how to fix this bizzare problem?

It's my computer, and I've got full administrative access, so that can't be it.
