Probably the pointer in the file is still pointing towards Drive A, therefore it will look for Drive A whenever you tried to save it, but as far as I know, after resaving it onto the HDD for the first time, the weird behavior will go away.

On the the example of such behavior that I know of it MS Word. For example, if you open a document in Drive A, then save it onto Drive C. But when you tried to exit, the autosave function or some weird command in the Word will try and locate the original file, which is in Drive A.

In the case of Word, the way to counter this bug is to open the document, save it onto drive C, then closes the original copy, which is in drive A. Then issue an "open document" and select the file which is in drive C.
