    error copying file from one drive to another
    « on: June 08, 2008, 09:04:24 PM »
    Sorry if this is a common issue.  I tryed the search function with no luck.  I have tryed on more that one occasion to back up my wife's files onto my computer (they are networked).  The last two times I've tryed the computer has (ramdomly it seems) picked one .jpg file it has a problem with moving that screws the whole process up.  The message I get is:
    ERROR COPYING FILE OR FOLDER
    Cannot copy (name of file) : Access is denied
    Make sure the disk is not full or write protected
    and that the file is not currently in use

    I have plenty of room.  There is no write protection or current use that I can see.  Any suggestions?

    Welcome to the CH forums.

    You neglected to mention which operating system you are using...

    One of these might help.

    Please read this..

    Good luck.
