so i have this external hardrive (i call it The Box) which i use for watching programs and dvds on, and just yesterday it started being really weird..
i usually am able to copy and paste over .avi files no problem from Finder to The Box, and delete files if they're duplicated or wrong etc. But yesterday one of the files wasn't working when The Box was connected to the tv. i presumed it was the file so i went back to the computer, plugged it in and went to delete it and replace it with a better one. but it keeps coming back as an empty file.. i try deleting it (Move to trash), and it makes the noise of being deleted. but then, somehow it just comes back!
now i tried deleting the folder and then it says "the file cannot be deleted because it is in use". ehh...whaaat?! i've also gotten an Error Code -36 too
PLEASE HELP!!
