First, I'd want to know what the object was the Windows can't access. The torrent program? The directory where the files are stored?
Try starting a torrent and saving the files to a different location if you have one available to you; a different partition on the hard drive, another machine on any network you might be connected to, or a USB thumb drive. If you can save the files to a different location, something is blocking your permissions to your normal storage location. I'm not enough of a Windows expert to help beyond that, though. (Haven't used Windows in about three or four years now and don't ever expect to use it again.)

i think i found the problem...
but not the solution i left the laptop on for 2 nights 1 night with azureus running and downloading and the other without the error appeared whilst azureus was running but i got the same kind of error before i re-installed xp home so it might be the files but if its the files on the external HD what can i do?  how to fix? and i've only ever used azureus and prefer to stay that way |

Maybe it's some kind of power-saving feature either on the laptop (prime suspect) or the external drive. I take it the laptop is connected to the wall while it's downloading overnight; if so, disable any power-saving features you might have enabled. Usually you can set up different "profiles" in the power-saving utility.
The HDD might also have some type of power saving features like disk spin-downs. Make sure these are disabled as well. Also, take a look at this thread: http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=62017
