I'm thinking that re-formating might help. What do you think?

Thats a great idea. It's exactly what i do when things start getting weird on mine and it has always fixed it. It only seems to happen if i forget to safely take it off my comp.

Thanks, I'm doing that now. do you know how long it should take? I've been in mptool program for a while now and there dose not seem to be any kind of progress bar or anything.

How do you format the drive? I know how to do the actual format in windows, but after that, how do you restore all the G6 software? Going to try it, see if maybe theres something wrong with the cart causing my problem here

Edit: Did the format, ran the maintenance utility, and everything is working fine now
