I never had an issue hiding and viewing files on my external hard drive until today.

I right click on the file go to properties click hidden and then ok, but the file doesn't get hidden.
I copied the file to my c drive and can hide it, No problem.

Is there a setting that would prevent me from hiding a file only on an ext HDD?

Some facts:
Im using win 7 in boot camp on an iMac I just upgraded parallels to 12.

Thanks for any suggestions.
