Robert the Bruce Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Normally I keep all my uTorrent downloads stored in an external hard-drive. I plug the ext-hd into my PC (usb port) after my PC has booted up. To-day I went through the usual procedure but also added a USB stick with a view to copying some files from the ext-hd to the stick.Before doing this I opened uTorrent with a view to re-naming one or two files only to see that every file had turned from green to brown with the message 'Error-Files Missing from Job' or 'Error-Former Volume Not Mounted'.Now, I've came across the 'Error-Files Missing From Job' message before and usually it's just a case of right-click then start and the file turns green again.But this time I can't seem to get the files underway again.I'm convinced that the introduction of the USB stick had something to with this but the question is, is there a way to get the files seeding and downloading again ?Now, as an experiment I tried to download a file only to see that uTorrent is not working at all. I get the same messages even with new files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 The USB stick you put in took the drive letter of your external. Re-assign the drive letters back using disk management and then right-click each of your offending torrents and force a re-check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, how do I go about re-assigning the drive letters using disk management ? (I don't even know what 'drive-letters' are)Basically I don't know how to access this disk management and once there I wouldn't know how to re-assign the drive-letters.Please excuse my ignorance.

Robert the Bruce Posted May 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-ca/windows/change-add-remove-drive-letter#1TC=windows-7I don't understand what I'm supposed to do. This example is for Windows 7. I use Windows XP Home. I guess what I'm asking for is a step-by-step guide. Please stick with me on this.More info. I got as far as Admin Tools (I think) and there was absolutely nothing there. Empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 The steps are the same in Windows XP. Alternatively, to get to disk management, you can do start - run - diskmgmt.msc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert the Bruce Posted May 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Thank you very much. I got it sorted. I'll save this on my favourites for future reference:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
