Whenever I plug in my hard drive, it shows up as local disk with 0GB used and 0GB available, but after some time, it turns back to My Passport with everything I stored in it.

Now the main problem's here. If I open it, it lags so much and the browser becomes so unresponsive, it's hardly usable. Whenever I watch a video or anything from the hard drive, the video lags and the player becomes unresponsive.\

Is there a way to fix this without having the files I have in the hard drive gone? There are some valuable pictures and videos I have in there.

Sorry if it's hard to understand what I'm trying to say, english isn't my first language, and I'm not so good with technology.
