As I am not tech savvy and Google just keeps bringing up things that I'm NOT having trouble with I figured I'd ask the kind users of FA for a little help.

Recently my External HD has been giving issues when it comes to saving files on to it, not I can remove files and even work on existing files then save the changes no prob but whenever I try to save something on to it it just stops responding.
I dunno what started it, 1 minute I'm transferring 2 folders over, 1st one goes without a problem but once I start on the 2nd instant freezing, had to restart and has been screwing up since. Even simple image files cause the freezing, heck Mozilla will freeze as well if I try saving from the source.

Thinking it was a hardware problem I decided to do a system restore, didn't work, did 3 of them each one going back further and kept getting the same message "Restore was Unsuccessful, No files were changed"

Also tried to Defrag and...not sure anything actually happened, kept saying "1%" the entire time.
If anyone has any advice I'm all ears.
