"Cannot read the source file or disk" when copying photos
Hi JasjitRehsia,
I've seen some posts where it is perhaps due to an error on the hard disk. See the article after some troubleshooting:

I hope this helps!

Error copying file or folder: cannot read the source file or disk.
My problem occurs when you try to copy on the same computer I am on (or to a remote drive). I get one of these messages in the dialog "error copying file or folder.
box:
Impossible to copy 'Filename': data error (cyclic redundancy check).
Impossible to copy 'Filename': cannot read the source file or disk.Hey Norton victim,
(a) what is your operating system?(b) what program file you are not able to copy?
As the files are copied, Windows verifies that the data that has been copied are the same as the source files. The cyclic redundancy check (CRC) error occurs when the copied data does not match the original.This could be down to a mistake of the DVD, the disc goes wrong and has failed to 'read' the file properly or the file was placed on a bad sector on your hard drive. (Could be just down to a scratch or some marks on the dvd, maybe clean it if necessary and try again).I would run a check disk (CHKDSK) against the drive to rule that, although lacking - you have another dvd player to try the disc again? If so, try the dvd in another drive, or even a completely different machine to try to pin-point the problem.At the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:Chkdsk /rNote: If bad sectors are detected when running check disk utility and attempt recovery of bad sectors is verified during the verification of the drive for errors, data in the bad sector can be lost as they tried to recover bad sectors.

cannot read the source file or disc for install.wim when file copying.
I'm doing a windows 7 bootable from a USB key, and when copying files every thing goes more except for the install.wim
I get the error message "cannot read the source file or disk.
I checked there is enough space on the disk, and I also tried copying from disk to my office, same question.
I tried using the command line to move the file and get an "Access denied" error message, which I believe is the root cause as to why I can't move the file in the first place.

I recently lost a hard drive and I had a new installed in a laptop Toshiba Satellite A305-S6905. I ordered the recovery media and when I run it it starts copying files and then publishes the message "Cannot read from source file or disk" and says it's PREINST.8. I don't know what that means. The hard drive is new, the recovery media is new, and I don't know how to go further. It gives me the ability to ignore and I anpother error message which says 10-FC06-0002, and that the recovery does not and click on 'ok' to restart the computer. I'm at an impasse in circles.
http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp
You will need to contact Toshiba re problems with their recovery media.
This isn't their recovery process, Microsoft.
See you soon.

There is an icon on my desktop I want to remove
Tskilonger,
Welcome to the Microsoft Answers community.
Try to delete the file in safe mode:
To use a boot option, follow these steps:
1. reboot your computer and start pressing F8 on your keyboard. On a computer that is configured to start to multiple operating systems, you can press the F8 key when the Boot Menu appears.
2. Select an option when the Windows Advanced Options menu appears, and press ENTER.
3 when the boot menu appears again, and the words "Safe Mode" appear in blue at the bottom, select the installation that you want to start, and then press ENTER.
I hope this helps.
