Before I burn these sticks on the evening barbeque can someone tell be why I
keep getting a message saying "cannot copy or replace directory" when the
damned thing has not yet been transferred?

Am in a great hurry to back up data now that CD RW has gone to nonrecycle
bin following a highly reverent termination ceremony where I introduced it to
my good froen the power hammer.
 
Do they work with drag and drop from Windows Explorer? Or are you
talking about some software you are using?

Have you accidentally flicked on the "write protect" switch? I do it
regularly.
 
Thanks for suggestions.

Have been declaed a write off by she who must be obeyed but think the switch
ain't flicked because I manged to copy some files before this recuurent pest
of an error message kept popping up so I must be doing something else daf -
good thing I'm not a surgeon!
