    I have a Western Digital My book and for some reason I cant access files that are in foreign languages. I can see them if I click on them the files come up with like an error box and shows the language as ?????. If I change the language to english, the files will work. The problem is I dont want to sit and change a bunch of files into english. So hopefully someone knows a fix to this. Thanks!
