  Hi Peter,

  Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

  From your problem description, I understand that you are unable to transfer files from an external drive on another drive. Please let me know if this isn't the problem that you are experiencing.

  Before troubleshooting, I have little information on the issue.

  1. Do you receive any error or display message?
  2. Did you recent hardware or modifications to the software on the computer before this problem?

  Try the methods and then check after each method:

  Method 1: Transfer files from a drive to the location on the desktop or a temporary folder and then try to transfer them to the destination disk.

  Note: make sure the free space on the disk in the destination drive.

  Method 2: Run the Fixit:

• 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 /r
   
  Note: 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.

• In Windows XP get daily error "error copying file or folder."

  Every day in the middle of the afternoon, when I'm not working on my computer, the following two boxes appear on my desktop:

  #1 "copy...". "in white letters in the upper header of blue, left side of the screen.  The beige screen has a piece of paper from the left folder to the right folder.  Here are two lines: top line "Copying"DiskSpaceCheck.dll"" below this line: "to" c: documents and Settings\XX\Local "' at the bottom of the box contains a box empty white horizontal activity and a button"Cancel ".

  #2, below the area of "copy":

  Header «Error copying file or Fo...» "Below a line with a button inside a red circle X, followed by the message"the file exists. " An OK button is centered below that.

  I have to press Cancel and OK several times to get rid of the box but then I have to restart the computer so that it works correctly.  This happens every day.

  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.
  3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
  4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
  5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

  You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

  Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

  -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.

  -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
  -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
  -Click OK.
  -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).

  Is one of the drives to FAT32 and the other (the source drive) to NTFS?  If yes you can not copy the 8 GB one NTFS to FAT32 drive as FAT32 drives can only contain files of 4 GB maximum size.  (Several delivered external drives are shipped as FAT32 drives.
   
  To discover the method format of a departure by car computer and then make a right click on the drive letter, click Properties and the result will give the formatting the drive.
   
  If FAT32 and you want to create as a NTFS, you can do a conversion.
   
  Click Start and in the area run or search, type CMD and click OK.
  In the black box that opens type "CONVERT x: FS:NTFS" and press ENTER.  (x: is the letter to an external drive)
   
  Once it has been converted to NTFS, you should be able to copy your files.

• 0 x 80070057 error when copying files

  Simple copy / paste internal drive on USB key intermittently generates error 0 x 80070057. Usually does not occur unless the copy or issues (on the beach of 1 GB), files copied at the time of the error is not relevant. Very frustrating. This happens since I bought a key USB Verbatim 1 TB. Took training and exchanged against an Iomega 1 TB USB drive. The same problem only $56.00 poorer. Both drives are USB 3.0 compatible. I formatted entirely two drives after encountering the problem, but it has not changed. ChkDsk indicates that everything is OK. Problem occurs when I use my USB 3.0 port and when I use the USB 2.0 port on my laptop. Still have my old book size USB drive and I have no problem with him at all. Am on Windows 7 Ultimate N.

  Any help would be appreciated!

• I can not move the files to a folder in windows XP, only to copy them, and I get the windows error. This happens on any file or folder.

  I use XP Pro SP 3 and I'm having a problem with moving the files from one folder to another, no matter where the folder or files. If I try to move a file, it crashes and it cannot be opened or used. If I move a folder, then crashes all the contents of the folder, and I can't even open the folder, it tells me access is denied, this nothing else. If I try to delete the file, then I get a prompt to error telling me that the file or folder is not accessible, and that access is denied and "make sure that the disk is not full or write protected." If I try to move the files corrupt in another folder, this time I get the message "Unable to move or replace" the file in question and "make sure that the disk is not full or write protected." If it is a document as a text file, then I can open the file and there is a prompt indicating that access is denied. I can then use the text document and save something, but if I close the document and then try to reopen it, all the changes are lost.
  It is not this problem if I move the files to an external device or disk drive.
  I am running as an administrator.
  Right now, if I need to move a file, I copy it to its destination, which is possible and then delete the original file. With the help of a release program was the only way I could delete these files, which could no longer be used.

  Hello Closrapexa, welcome.

  1. do you have this problem started recently?

  I recommend trying the system restore to bring the system back to a State before the problem started. Try this:

  1. click on START

  2. click on "all programs".

  3. click on "Accessories".

  4. click on "system tools."

  5. click on "system restore."

  6 follow the prompts shown to restore your system to a date before the problem started. Although the system restore does not target the personal data, it is recommended that you back up all data such as music, photos and documents in case something is not bad.

  Let us know what happens

  Thank you!
