  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 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.

• 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.
