  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:

  Method 3: Disconnect your player safely, and restart the computer. And then try to transfer the files.

• Cannot delete files from the external hard drive after copying using Robocopy

  Original title:! VERY DIFFICULT QUESTION! Files that cannot be deleted!

  I did a robocopy and he left during the night and when I came back it was in some kind of loop and my external hard drive was full. The files are not visible in Explorer and if I try to delete them in the command line that fails because some are too long. Urgent I need to redo the space on this external and copy the files to my parents and charity before fly me soon. Please can someone help me.

  * Looks like that I have multiple instances of the same files

  I don't know if you will be able to do this before your flight, but the drive must be partitioned and formatted, reformatted, or scanned for errors of NTFS file allocation table with repairs enabled. Depending on the size of the disk, this could take some time. You can also check statistics of SMARTDRIVE with a utility like Crystal Info disc to see if it is a failure.

  If you do not drive Professional recovery tools available, the native CHKDSK will do in a pinch.

  C:\Windows\System32>chkdsk /?
  Checks a disk and displays a status report.

  [CHKDSK [volume [[path] filename]]] [/ f] [/ v] [/ r] [/ x] [/ I] [/ c] [/ l [: size]] [/ b]

  volume Specifies the drive letter (followed by a colon),
  mount point or volume name.
  filename FAT/FAT32 only: Specifies the files to check for fragmentation.
  /F fixes errors on the disk.
  /V FAT/FAT32: displays the full path and the name of each file
  on the disk.
  On NTFS: Displays the eventual cleanup messages.
  /R Locates bad sectors and recovers readable information
  (implies / f).
  L:size NTFS only: changes the size of the logfile to the specified number
  of kilobytes.  If the size is not specified, displays currently
  size.
  /X force the volume to unmount it first if necessary.
  All open handles to the volume would then be invalid
  (implies / f).
  /I NTFS only: performs a less vigorous check of index entries.
  /C NTFS only: skips, checking of cycles within the folder
  structure.
  /B NTFS only: Re-evaluates bad clusters on the volume
  (implies / r)

  The /I or /C switch reduces the amount of time required to run Chkdsk by
  skip certain checks of the volume.

  Any routine review and car repair will take time. CHKDSK is no exception.

• front usb ports are unable to detect the large capacity external hard drive (250 GB)

  Hello
  I have 250 GB external hard drive, whenever I connect to my front usb ports it detected, but pen drives, are to detect flash drives, one of my friends said that you need to update my bios & I here is the motherboard.

  motherboard: Mercury 945gcm

  It is possible that the USB 1.1 and not 2.0 ports that can explain the problem.  In addition, sometimes USB ports out enough power to run an external device that is not powered separatelly.  I don't know if updating the BIOS will help, but if there is an update available for your system (and it MUST be for your system - big bad can occur if you install the wrong BIOS so get with the computer manufacturer, and speak to a representative to confirm that they are appropriate for your system AND your version of Vista) then by all means install it and see if that solves the problem.  You can also get the updated drivers for the motherboard manufacturer, at the same time and see if that helps as well.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Cannot transfer pictures to the external hard drive (refused)

  Hey!

  I can't transfer jpg on my computer to my external hard drive all of a sudden. He's worked a lot of years and now when I try to drag the photos on it gives me a stop sign, that white circle with the diagonal line through it. What gives? Any help would be great appreciated! I have a lot of work there.

  Additional information:

  -J' have permission to read and write on the jpg photos, but the disk that he said that I can read only, and there is no way to change this, when I click on the little triangle down.

  -I can drag photos that already exist ON the disk hard ON my desk, but not vice versa

  -All files are jpg files, and they are in a separate folder on my desktop, not from my iphoto library or whatever it is

  -J' also tried to delete the "com.apple.recentitems.plist" of the finder, and nothing has changed

  -The disc model is a "Slim Seagate laptop drive"

  -Here is a photo of the hardrive info:

  

  Thank you

  The external HARD drive is formatted NTFS, which allows you to write on it unless you have a third party app like Paragon or Tuxera.

  You had these software installed by Seafgate in the drive, but it is now obsolete and should be updated.

  Ciao.

• Cannot connect remotely to an external hard drive on iMac

  I have trouble connecting to remote a Macbook (10.10.5) of an external HARD drive mounted which is connected to an iMac (Mac OS X 10.10.5.) The iMac is connected to the internet via an airport express base station 7.6.4.

  I created an account of sharing only to connect to this drive and I've had no success connecting to it outside the local network of this external hard drive.

  Because the Terminal airport express base station is involved, y at - it sort of port forwarding for connect to this hard drive mounting?

  I've only tried to plug the hard disk via finder > go > connect to server > name.local/locationOfExternalHarddrive of the computer and have had no success so I think the explicit base station is the question?

  Any advice is greatly appreciated!

  This is assuming you have CCMM configuration and working properly... without it, Wan, there is no way that the computer can find computername.local

  You need the public IP address of the router... and there may be only a single router. Normally, it is not possible to use IP because it is dynamic, with a home ISP accounts then you must configure the global DNS name or a dynamic DNS account.

  Please read Tesserax doco on remote... the best method is Apple CCMM.

  Airport drive - remote (3 methods)

  A simpler method in my humble OPINION is teamviewer... same as Apple CCMM without as many restrictions.

  Any method of remote access requires a careful configuration of the home network. And the Mac must be able to wake on lan... (apple have their own fancy name for it).
