Solving these issues may solve why my computer is messing up external hard drives.
OK! I know that my computer is missing drivers, error messages always come up saying that. Sometimes when I start my computer, explorer.exe seems to freeze, or stop initializing. I do not know why this is. The way that i solve this is that i go into the task manager, end the explorer.exe process, and then manually start it again in the file bar. All my issues may stem from this, i dont know. If anyone has any ideas, please i really need them. I need this computer for university, which i am currently in.
