Forum:Cannot delete anything from Screenplay or Use Win7 backup utiliy

Ok, I just found this forum, and its with great sadness that I find that many other people are having the same problems with their Screenplay drives. I purchased this brick last May, and it has been riddled with problems since.

It took quite some time before I could get the discovery utility to actually discover the damn thing, and I've never had a successful encounter with the playlist manager. When I started trolling the forums about this thing I saw the firmware update, but I haven't been able to get the installer to recognize it. Now all of a sudden when I tried to schedule automatic backups (unsuccessfully) I cannot delete anything.

I can read and write files on my PC (win7) but cannot delete. When I try to delete straight from the drive it just freezes up. Anyone got a clue or can point me in the right direction? Slapjamma


 * Hi Slapjamma. For your PC, you probably need to take admin ownership of the files/folders on the drive (right click / properties / security / advanced / owner) and also grant permissions to all.  I've seen this switch once before on my screenplay and that's how I regained control.  As for the firmware, try the latest firmware (1.98) and see if that helps resolve any of your issues.  It was just recently published. --JCoug 04:50, January 18, 2010 (UTC)
