Hello.

Can someone help me?
If i want to copy the Files from the Harddisk to the Hardisk ob the USB
Device, i get always the message "Cannot Copy - File System Error 1138"
On both Harddisk it the NTFS Filesystem.
 
Just press F1...the help system screen will pop up showing the restore
functions.
 
Hi,

Format the USB drive making sure you use FAT16, not FAT32.

It doesn't make sense because i want to copy 15 GB to the USB Driber and the
Harddisk is 160 GB. With FAT16 you can only use 2 GB
 
Sorry Marco, didn't read that in your original post. The file system error
usually indicates that there is an issue with the file table on the drive.
Running chkdsk may help.
