I have an external HD (WD MyBook) connected to AirPort Extreme. Today I've tried to create a new folder - unfortunately after hitting "enter" while naming it suddenly there were only random 13 of existing files/folders visible (out of hundreds) and no new folder! When I connected my HD directly to my macbook via USB I could see all of my files plus a new strange file - a shortcut dated on January 1st 1904 (its name is a partial name I wanted to give my new folder). When I click on it to get info it disappears, only to reappear again later. I cannot delete it (I get error -43). Could this weird file be a reason why only few random files are visible while the HD is connected to the router? Is there any way I can get rid of it? Should I be worried about the safety of other files stored on my HD?
Any suggestions?
TIA!
