External Seagate USB
by rjs1943 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#56AB9)
Hello all
I can't seem to delete, rename, move etc files frome my external Seagate 1TB USB drive getting an input/output error. If I go into a sub folder on the external drive I can do all these things (delete, move rename ETC) from there. The external USB drive is formatted as NTFS. Does any one have any idea where I can start to troubleshoot this? I don't think permissions are a concern in a NTFS drive, right? I am running Linux Mint 19.3 on a Lenovo T430 laptop. I haven't had this problem until recently, like a couple of days.
Thanks:
Rich
