i have tried to get my, all being old,verbatim 320 gb drive is not being able to do a 'file history' in windows 8.1.

device manager indicates that the drive is working ok.

i have tried to cut and paste my library's and that says the disc is full when it clearly is not.

i have tested the drive on a vista machine and am able to cut and paste files.

just don't know where to go

my son has used the drive in windows 8.1 and works fine

could this be an error on my toshiba c50. anyone got a clue PLEASE
