  Original title: not accessible - incorrect function.

  Cannot copy files from HD to CD by using wizard. Have been able to do for a long time. Without warning is no longer possible.

  Hello

  The format of the files you want to copy basically described what kind of files they are. Word documents, of .mpg, jpeg, etc.
  However, it seems that the problem is with the drive itself, not individual files.

• Cannot copy files in Vista to a flash drive

  I am running Vista on a Dell Inspiron 530 and have tried to prepare my pc for installation of Windows 7.  I looked at other threads on this forum with similar problems, but have not found all of this sounds similar to my situation.  I tried to copy files such as my work Lotus document, Favorites files and picture files on a 32 GB Sandisk flash drive to save them before making the migration to 7.

  First of all, I had set up and files on the flash drive and then copied the data from drive C by using the copy and paste commands.  A strange thing happened when I pasted the images and the Favorites in the files of the flash player that I had put in place for these data was that the system insisted on the creation of its own files for these two files even if I paste in the files that I install.  I had the time that deleting the folder empty two I had the installer and then rename the files that the system had created.  When I had finished I posted the content of each of these files and they all contained what I expected to see.  Then, I closed the window and going on to something else.  Later I returned a new is to look at these files, I had created on the drive flash and discovered that they were not there.  With the exception of two small files that included Sandisk on the disc, it was empty.

  I might add that one of the reasons why I have do this upgrade is because Vista goes into a 'blocking' occasionally, and forcing me to delete a running via the Task Manager program, or if a system reboot.  The system restore feature is disabled.  I am the only user of this system and it is not on a network.

  I would appreciate help to solve this problem.  Thank you

  You are quite welcome.

• Cannot copy files to CD or DVD + RW drive

  I tried several types of disc but am find me suddenly unable to write / copy files on a DVD or a CD. I use a HP with XP desktop computer. This problem started last night. When I put in a disk, it reads. I clicked on properties, then go to AutoPlay. I choose, for example, a content type - I'll click on say, mixed content, and ok. Everything I do or choose here, it will not save. I hit the Restore Defaults and it does nothing. In Windows Explorer, instead of inscription on the list DVD + RW and whateer in car, it displays an image of a disc with the date and the E drive.

  Any ideas on how I can fix this so I can copy files to my DVD discs?

• Cannot copy files from a USB USB Kingston on WD external hard drive

  When I try to copy large groups of a Kingston DT101 (32 GB Tumbdrive) files on an external hard drive WD (WD3200MLSP: 32 GB) the computer does nothing and there is no "Copy" dialog box I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers but it does not work. However, when I copy only the sections of the USB hard disk, then copy works. I use the Ctrl + C to copy the files and the light on the USB flashes on then off. Then, when I navigate to the folder on the hard drive and I press Ctrl + V to paste the files, the light on the USB key turns on and remains lit. However, the lights on the hard drive WD do nothing.

  It depends on the size of the file.

  It files are 4GBs or more and the player is formatterd to FAT32, it will not transfer due to limitations of size of FAT32 file transfer...

  See you soon.

• The VM cannot copy files from a network share on the host

  I get the error "unable to copy xyz123: cannot read from the source file or disk.» When you try to copy a file to a shared folder.

  • The shared folder is located on the machine called VM-SERVER, which runs in Workstation 6.0.4. The folder is shared with everyone having full control. Security settings say that DOMAIN\Domain users also have complete control.

  • Any user who connects to any guest VM on VM-SERVER, which is the host of all the VMS in the Organization, can not access the file for copying, although registration to the directory is there (although slow to come). If the same user connects to any other computer on the network, any computer of VM-no-prompt, then he can access the files on the share on VM-SERVER with no problems.

  • VM' are the guest all configured with Bridged networking like they serve other users on the network. I disable the VMWare adapters. I insert the DisableDos key with a value of 1 as indicated by the FAQ, I restart the VM host operating system and the virtual computer guests.

  • VM-SERVER running Windows Server 2003 R2 x 64. It has 2 1 TB SATA drives, and the action in question is physically located on the D: drive.

  • The VM guest OS are XP Sp3, Vista Sp1, Windows Server 2003 R2 x 32 Business.

  • None of these comments VM are able to access the contents of the files on the share on VM-SERVER.

  • All computer virtual guests are able to access shares located on another server, the primary domain controller of the network that is running Windows Server 2003 R2 x 32.

  Accordingly, I'm worried because the concept of the virtual computer for critical business was my decision and up to the exception of this scenario (and a recently resolved USB printing problem) it went well. Unfortunately even a mess can stop production.

  Note that I have read the FAQ and tried the suggestions that seemed to apply.  I also looked in the forums and haven't seen a specific question/answer.  If there is an answer out there and you read this point please make me, orperhaps you have another suggestion?  I am open to all theories and possible solutions.

• Cannot copy files from Windows XP during installation.

  While Windows reset through the repair track (not the console repair) using the original disk of XP, 44 files could not be copied. I turned off the antivirus Avast. Then again 29 files (including the migregdb.ex_) could not be copied. Once the process is completed the win XP works, I can connect to the internet and exploit all the programs, BUT research, help and Support, and then Windows Update stopped working. No idea how to overcome the problem of file copy will be appreciated.

  Hello

  Disconnect all external devices to your computer and see if it works.

  You can also use a different Windows XP installation disk and check if the problem exists.

• Cannot copy files from a corrupted on a new user acct

  For some reason my user account was in sashes. I wasn't able to access the system restore. I did a restore and it allowed me to create new user accounts that my old files were still on the drive under the old user acct, I am not able to copy on. I tried to use the procedure described in article 811151 but the old user account folder is not accessible (access denied). I tried to change the permissions under safe mode, but that makes no difference. Any ideas?

  Article Microsoft KB811151 will not work as described if you reinstall as you.  The problem you have now is one of the owner.  The following article should allow you to adapt your old files and a directory and to regain access:

• Cannot copy files from USB key!

  I have a picture of game size 4.17 GB. When I was trying to transfer it to my USB drive (16 GB), it displays message that the drive is full, so that only 8 KB was filled. I tried to copy another image of the game, but the same thing happened. Other files and songs, movies can be easily transferred but not game footage. Help, please!

  Pendrives are usually formatted in FAT32. FAT32 is limited to files under 4 GB. This is probably your problem.

• Cannot copy files from the old hard drive to new

  Original title: crash and recovery of hard drive problem

  My hard drive crashed it wouldn't boot saying config.sys is damaged or corrupted, I tried to fix it but the sector is damaged. I was using XP, I had a password on my settings. I installed a new hard drive and reinstalled windows XP, but even if I can 'see' the old hard drive (always installed) I can't access my documents, how can I get to them? I know the password but since its an account on another drive it won't give me the chance to log on to the account.

  Assuming that you use the Encrypting File System (EFS) then this article should solve your problem:

• I m a new user of macbook. I can´t copy files from my mac to an external drive

  I can´t copy files from my mac to an external hard drive.

  I followed the instructions in the help, but I can't change the license to write / read of read-only, the locking doesn´t appear on my screen of inf.

  really I m very disappointed with this machine because I can´t find the apple online support.

  I tried searching you tobe to the google search, and I can't do it!

  any body can help me please?

  Select the drive in the Finder and select the get info in the file menu.

  If it is the Windows NT file system format, install software such as Paragon NTFS on the computer or reformat the hard disk.

  If it's in a different format, choose Utilities in the Finder Go menu, open disk utility and use the repair disk function or first aid in this regard.
