NTFS Cannot access files and folders (all okay on Windows though)
Hi
Recently, my USB drive has started playing up. On my mac I cannot open certain folders or files (see attached screenshots).
Many folders are missing the small grey right-pointing arrow and when I double click I get the following error:
"The folder “L09 Amenities” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents". I therefore cannot open the folder or see it's contents from my Mac.
The same problem goes for some files which I can't open. It's as if they're there, but not there. The files move to the trash but on occasions I cannot empty the trash.
On Windows, all files and folder contents are displayed correctly. I've used Disk Utility and Windows drive tools to check for errors but both report the drive is okay.
