Ok, this may seem like a software problem... But at this point I'm leaning towards believing that it's a hardware problem... Sorry if I'm wrong =[
Anyways... My father works as a professional videographer... He recently got a new editing program from Japan, Canopus EDIUS Pro. Well, installation went smoothly, and the program was running smoothly.
All the files he was using were stored on the external HDD (Because it has 200GB... The other HDDs are each about 80). Then we needed to remove the HDD for a while in order to connect another device. When we plugged the HDD back in, the files were still there, but could not be loaded.
Well, we figured it was just a bug, and he started over with the editing. Well, it was night, so he shut down his comp before he went to sleep. He woke up, turned the computer back on, and then the files could not be openned again... Problem? Yes. Solution? No idea.
Ok, so we tried calling Canopus Japan's support hotline, but they won't pickup... We really need help (Because it involved my dad's job)...
