Can no copy relatively large files

[Mac D]

Hie people,

Got a little cahhlenge. My machine that has Win XP Pro SP2 can not copy
relatively large files to completion over the network (TCP/IP). The copy
starts and goes to a significant extent before bombing out (eish!!!) I belive
it has to do with SP2 but dont quite know what know how to fix hence my
appearance here.

Any got a solution to my challenge?? Small files 10Mb copy with no problem.

Thanks in advance,

Mac D

How large are these files? How is the drive you are copying to formated?
FAT32 or NTFS?

How much RAM memory? Is there ample free disk space where you are
copying to?

How large are the files? What file system does the destination drive
use? Are you aware that FAT32 has a 4GB file size limit?

Hie,

The file system is NTFS. The drive is 150Gb. RAM is 524Mb. The actual error
messgae is Can no copy "file name": The network name is no longer available.
Seraching around it seems this is a known issue but thing is no one seems to
have posted a solution to it.

Oddly, even before XP, NTFS was standard, I'd have to delete sometimes 6
gig files from win98 PCs. It was most likely just a bug in win98/fat32.
