Inside my MBP 2011:
50GB Vertex 2: Boot files and Applications
320GB Stock Optibayed: EVERYTHING else (desktop, documents, downloads, HOME, etc.)
Running Snow Leopard

If I download a Word file or Powerpoint file and try to open it (these are downloading to the 320GB), the following error hits me:
"Word cannot open this document. The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid Word document, or the file name might contain invalid characters (for example, <>|\"/_)."

If I type up a Word file or Powerpoint file and try to save it (to the 320GB), the following error hits me:
"Word cannot save this document due to a naming or permissions error on the destination volume"

'Saving to' and 'opening' from the 50GB Vertex 2 works just fine, but I would like to be able to do this from the 320GB instead. I have tried repairing permissions on both drives with no luck, thank you.

Both drives are formatted as Mac OSX Extended (Journaled)
