    ok, this is hard to explain, but here it goes:

    I just updated my firefox browser and this is when the trouble started, i tried to access my HDD and it keeps telling me this
    "unable to access file, either corrupt or unreadable" and well since my HDD is old, i tried to unplug it and let it sit for awhile
    but when i plug it in now, it freezes my PC up and dangit i dont feel like trying to format it and lose my info

    here is the info for my HDD:

    Maxtor OneTouch 4 500 gb External HDD

    ok, i found out, it might be a virus issue, so what type of virus could do something like this??

    ok, i was able to fix this issue, mods you can close this, thank you
