what the heck, i have two external drives right, one is 232gig one is 298gig. the 232 one has all my stuff on it, the 298 is clean, but when i try copy files between the two it says that the source file or folder cannot be read, i can open the folders that it says it cant read, and the programs that it cant read are programs that work and i can open them, but i just cant copy them between the drives. please help or advise, operating system: windows vista home edition. thanks
Have you tried copying to ANOTHER storage device, e.g. a memory stick or another USB hard drive if you've got one? It might be a problem with the 298gb unit rather than the 232 with all the data on. Try deleteing the partition on the clean drive, and reformatting
i've tried copying the folders one by one onto my computer and it still cant read the files, but i can still open them and everything, i've tried formatting the hard drive a few times
