Please help...

[Guest]

I'm having a problem that I've not had previously.

I've been using File Manager to move music files from one location to
another on the same hard drive. After using the "MOVE" option, the files have
become unaccessible. I click on the file and it says access denied. I have
also moved an entire folder and it won't let me even IN to the folder. I've
tried changing the properties but that doesn't help either. Also, after
moving the large folder, it says it's empty. I have done a search for the
same folder on the drives and there's only one. I'm sort of desperate.

btw, these files are mp3, wma, wav.... it doesn't matter what type. they
just don't work anymore.

Any help, suggestion, anything??
