Hi,
when I try to copy a file to usb stick using context menu 'send to' option I
get two error messages the moment I put a mouse pointer on 'send to' label
(not even click it). The first message is:

Disk I/O error:
Access is denied.


Exception of type "class disk_io_error" created at line 24 in

d:\projects\library\ntdiskinterface.cpp.

Extra debug information:
disk = 0
szDriveName = \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE0
hDisk = FFFFFFFF



the second message is the same except it says:
..
..
disk = 1
szDriveName = \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE1
..
..


Any clues?

thanx

I seen this before. One of my flash media card had became "corrupted"
and would not allow copy to/from it. I ended up re-formatting it.

What happens if you try the same thing without the USB drive? That
could suggest which of the following to try first.

Can you access the Sendto folder? If not, try a chkdsk.

Click Start, Run, type SFC /SCANNOW, click OK. If any files are damaged
or missing, they'll be replaced. You may need to reboot afterwards so
damaged files will be replaced.

Right-click is slow or weird behavior caused by context menu handlers:
