Download a file to a particular drive

I usually d/l on my data disk, drive H. Recently, for some reason I cannot now. I using Utorrent. When I do, an error shows up: "Error: The system cannot find the path specified (WriteToDisk)." Excuse me??? I have enough space on my drive. I am forced to use another drive, drive G; but this drive is skating on thin ice as far as space is concerned.  The drives I wanted to d/led the file is 2.3Gbs; the space on the drive is 14.5Gbs. Do you think Microsoft update in May could have caused it? On the same token wouldn't it affected drive C, which it didn't? What I did was d/l the file to Drive F (USB drive) and when done, transferred the file to drive H. In the process, a window appeared and told me I have to have special permission to transfer the file. Should I continue? I chose yes and it did. I went to my files and looked up the properties of the folder download in drive H. In the permission, every check box is checked expect FULL CONTROL and the property window is greyed out. I can't do anything to the window!!! Very frustrating... :-(  I am the administrator.

UPDATE:   I used: drive H alone and it started downloading. Any other folder won't.  NOTE: In drive H, there are 4 subdirectories. The last one was just administrated, the video file. In that folder, I looked into the properties. In the subtab, security, FULL CONTROL is allowed. It is still in relief though. The other 3 subdirectories DOES NOT allow FULL CONTROL, also in relief. Also, in 3 of the previous subdirectories of drive H, I checked in the Permission category and I cannot add nor remove any permission status; but the last subdirectory I can. Would someone please tell me what am I doing wrong???

    Greg?  Here we go again... :-(  I thought we have that covered???  Well, they're back!  Please take a look:

    Now, something happened and lost all of my torrent follows listed and I have to load them again.  Greg?  I have over 150 torrent files already downloaded; a few of them have to create the torrent files again.  I had the same message as this; but I got that squared away.  This time, I couldn't...  What am I doing wrong?  I I have my regedit file just like as I have now.  I got into the permission listed for everyone on drive H and then using diskpart program clearing the read only.  Next, I got into the my uTorrent program and tried to create another torrent file so I could list as one on my screen (I made sure there wasn't another torrent file for this video).  As you can tell, it wasn't happening.  PLEASE?!?!?!  IT IS DRIVING ME NUTS!!!  Why this particular file isn't letting me create another torrent file???  A few times when I did this, I thought yes was a go; unfortunately, it wasn't.  When I pushed the CREATE button, it stood there in relief not doing anything...  Am I stressed?  Stop asking me a STUPID QUESTION!!!!!!  Please forgive me, OK?  Anything that you can do to relieve my frustration would greatly be appreciated.  At least it would let have some sleep...

    Take care and God bless,

    David
