Be sure to see if you can use a command line DIR to list the folder contents. If you can, it's likely that old unpatched issue with Windows we've had for years (Explorer hangs on content it can't figure out such as video and images!)
It's a shame MSFT has left that bug in this OS.

I have a 500GB Simpletech external hard drive that has one folder I can't get into. I use it on a Windows 7 computer normally, but I went on vacation and plugged it into my friend's old XP laptop. It worked the first time I plugged it in, but the next day, just the folder that I accessed does not open. Now I have the same problem plugging it into any computer. Every other folder opens instantly, but the one that doesn't gives me the "not responding" message. It doesn't seem like a hardware issue with the drive. Any ideas?
