Moved files "in limbo"

A phenomena has just started happening on my computer. I'm using XP
home SP2.

I moved some jpg files from disk D to disk E. They are partitions on
separate HDs.
The thumbnail stays in D. In E I get the name of the file but no
thumbnail. I can't open the file in D or E. I get a message to the
effect that the file is already open or being used.
I can't closed down the computer normally. I get a warning that these
files are being used and must close them before shutting down.
The only way is to force a reboot with the button.

A precision on the problem:
When I reboot I have the file intact in E and D with thumbnails for
both. So windows has blocked on the move but carried out a copy.
