Recently, anything I drag icons n from my 2 Lacie externals to the dock, lower right part, folder area, have problems after a reboot. After a reboot, when I click in dock I get the question mark symbol. I would see this occasionally in past, but now, seems it all the time with any folder dragged to the dock, from the drives. any ideas appreciated. thanks!

INteresting, because I always run Disc Warrior on my main HD, and have never even thought of running it elsewhere, so maybe I should.

New info in this problem, as time lapses, the problem goes away and the icons in dock work ok, but still not right after the reboot.
