    Hello Barby,

    The STOP 0xC000021A error occurs when Winlogon.exe or Csrss.exe . When the Windows NT kernel detects that or the other of these processes has stopped, it shuts down the system and triggers the STOP 0xC000021A error. This error may have several causes. Among them are the following:

    • Incompatible system files have been installed.
    • A Service Pack installation has failed.
    • A backup program used to restore a hard drive does not correctly restore files that may have been in use.
    • An incompatible third-party program has been installed.

    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.

    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:

  • I started to run Disk Defragmenter on my laptop with Windows Vista to 7:45 last night. She is still ongoing at 10:55 the next day. That is what it is? I can't believe that it takes more than 12 hours to defragment a hard drive.

    Vista
    Defragmenter

    Hi Augie,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    1. you run defrag disk for the first time?

    Disk Defragmenter is a tool that rearranges the data on your hard drive and brings together fragmented files so that your computer can run more efficiently. We must keep in mind that the Disk Defragmenter uses disk access low priority and processor so that it is not influence your current running programs. This automatically translates a slower process. Disk defragmentation can take a long time if you run it for the first time and also depend on the space of hard disk and available data. If may take up to 15-16 hours, depending on the data and the bad clusters on the hard drive.

    Try the suggested methods.

    Method 1

    If you want to reduce the number of unnecessary files on your hard disk to free up disk space and help your computer run faster, use disk cleanup. It removes temporary files, empty the Recycle Bin, and removes a variety of file system and other items that you no longer need.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/delete-files-using-disk-cleanup

    Method 2

    You can run a disk scan command to remove bad sectors on the hard drive, then run Disk Defragmenter.

    1. open the computer by clicking the Start button, click computer.

    2. right click on the hard drive you want to check, and then click Properties.

    3. click on the sur l' onglet tab Tools and then, under error-checking, click check now.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    To automatically repair problems with files and folders that detects the scanning, select automatically fix file system errors. Otherwise, the disk check will simply report a problem, but not to fix them.

    To perform a full disk check, select search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors. This scan is trying to find and repair physical errors on the hard drive itself, and it may take much longer to complete.

    To check for errors file and the physical errors, select automatically fix file system errors and search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.

    4. click on Start.

    Depending on the size of your hard disk, this may take several minutes. For best results, do not use your computer for any other tasks while it checks errors.

  • strange exclusions to the automatic updates of the priority of Microsoft

    Why some updates for Security Essentials virus definition files install not as priority updates automatically and don't end up with a Custom update scan. They appear under the software, such as the definition of KB972696 1.95.30.0 just did it for me. I had a few others do as well, but only a few. Maybe once a month?

    My pc works fine and the Microsoft Update feature works very well. But I don't think that this is just update only this and a few other updates if I manually log on to the site to update and choose a custom scan then select this update under thesoftware - in option and choose to install it.

    Yes.

    From time to time, a new version of MSE is available. When this happens:

    1. the version upgrade will be offered as an optional update when you run a manual check for updates; or...

    2. the icon of "castle" MSE in Notification area changes from green to orange. When you click the icon, you'll see a prompt to install the new version; but...

    3. the upgrade will NOT be installed automatically through automatic updates.

    If you still need to be clarified or have other questions, please post in the appropriate forum of specific MSE:
