File not found in network drive.
I recently bought the Netgear D7000 router. I'm trying to setup readyshare with my USB drive so I can access it in Windows. It appears there and I can access files but there is this one folder, all the files are in there, but when I try to open them in Windows, I get a file not found error. When I copy new files in there, I can access them too but not existing files.
I've fixed it now. The files were all read only which for some reason caused the no file found errors over the network drive. So I plugged it in directly and removed the read only flag.

What happens when you connect the drive to a PC?
What do the permissions look like?
The 3rd party NTFS (and HFS/HFS+/FAT32/...) drivers allow read (and write) access to almost everything on these disks, regardless of mot permission settings.
Start with a file system check (assuming it's an NTFS file system) with the HD plugged to a Windows system.
I connected it directly to the computer and I can access the files just fine. There doesn't seem to be any permission problems there. There's no file errors either. Just can't seem to access them when it's plugged into the router.
