I have recently put a new hard drive in my laptop, and rebuilt my laptop from scratch, and now I get the following messages anytime that I try to create a file/folder or copy files/folders onto anywhere on this hard drive.
Could not find this item. This is no longer located in [path]. Verify the item's location and try again.
But the weird thing is, after this I click the 'Try Again' button and it works perfectly.
Is there anyway to avoid these error messages?
System details:
- Windows 7 Professional, 32bit
- 500GB, 7200rpm HDD
- Laptop is hp 6730b
- I have also split this hard drive into several partitions if this makes a difference.

People complain that this is due to windows update KB980408. But does not seem to be the case in all scenarios. I am not sure how up to date your install media of 7 is so this may not work.
Try a system restore to the point with no updates and see if that works. Bad news is you will probably auto get that update again :(
Also there is a reference to a registry fix Here You may want to check it out.
It seems to work for some people.
Good Luck
