i have a 3tb partitioned external drive. worked great- would load and move stuff across with no issues. always ejected it safely. then a few weeks ago - one of the partitions would come up with file errors when new files were taken across. wanted to scan that drive and fix file errors- which essentially put them into the found.001 folder as a corrupted file- i.e. wasnt copied across properly. so i started transferring files one at a time.. worked all good. then it started again. i had moved files from 1 use to this partitioned drive but it isnt showing media files on my wd media player...
also other video files that were popped in- showed on my pc but not on my media player... so confused ... any help??

Guessing the media player doesn't like multiple partitions.

Nuke it and make one partition.
