Moving a file to my USB Drive

HyperCat · Aug 10, 2016

I have a folder with movies (the folder is 4GB and 120MB) on my old computer (windows 7 professional)and tried to move it to my SanDisk Ultra USB drive (NFTS) but it keep saying something like "USB drive doesnt support encrytion, would you like to copy anyways?" and then its stuck copying, when click on the folder properties its shows that it is encrypted and it have a write protection (gets write protected even if i turn it on and i cant disable the ecryption) Sorry for my bad english. Any help is appreciated.

Have you tried formatting the USB drive?

Right click on the folder, click Properties, click Advanced, uncheck Encrypt.

Thats what i did but im getting an error saying it cant apply something.

Did you setup the encryption or did it come that way when you downloaded it?

why is every file encrypted on my old computer? (it wasnt when i used it for 8 months ago)i cant even move a text file or a picture to my USB drive.

Are you sure that both the PC and the USB stick have the same filesystem?

weberdarren97 :

Now it says "Do you want to move this folder without encrytion?

a problem is preventing the folder from moving"

weberdarren97 · Aug 10, 2016

Copy the folder without encryption.

Don't try to move it, if it becomes corrupt then its contents will be lost.

It says "cant apply attribute on the file, the service cant start, reason is it is locked blah blah" i disabled something via sys something yesterday.

Whatever you disabled, try enabling it again.

Usually, when something suddenly stops working the way I want it to, I ask myself the following question. What's changed? For a computer's behavior to change, something about said computer has to have changed.

Please try undoing whatever you changed yesterday.

i dont remember what application i used to disbale it, it was something called sys. or system.
EDIT: I disabled EFS yesterday, now activated it, decrypted the file and it works now.

System Configuration?

To get to System Configuration, press Win+R to open Run. Once Run opens, type in msconfig and press Enter. System Configuration opens. Undo whatever you did yesterday and restart.
