Hello,
I have a HPpavilion laptop, XP Home 2002 SP 2, with a 98 GB hard
drive.
Just bought a maxtor basics portable 160 GB USB drive.
So use windows explorer to list all the folders, and files, on the C
drive, select all, and ctrl-C.
then select the F: drive where the maxtor lives, and ctrl-v.
Get a copying popup saying "Preparing to Copy", After a few minutes
get a further popup entitled Error Copying File or Folder with the
message "Cannot copy file:".
So I format the maxtor - no problems - and run chkdsk against the C
drive - no problems.
Any suggestion of what might be the problem? Or even better the
solution?
TIA
