Ever since installing a brand new seagate 160GB SATA harddrive, and
incidentally also installing SP2 right on top of it, i have been unable to
copy certain files of random types and sizes, also randomly spread throughout
all of my harddrives from one physical harddrive to another.
if i try, the system freezes after reaching a certain point (this is always
the same point for the individual file), sometimes giving a "bad parameter
error" before the crash.
OK, that first paragraph was kind of long, so i'll just restate that I
cannot copy a certain amount of files from one physical hard drive to
another. They can be copied from logical partition to logical partition no
problem, however.
I can't copy them to removable media such as floppies and jaz disks either.
I have 2 normal U-ATA harddrives, 1 SATA HD, 1 RAID 1.5 array (2xWD 60gb)
and 2 SCSI UW harddrives.
The problem happens on ALL hard drives. And ONLY when copying from one
PHYSICAL harddrive to another.
The JAZ drive is connected through the SCSI controller. And it is also
affected.
This is frustrating the hell out of me as I am unable to back up any of the
affected files (some of which are movies, some are audio, some are program
files, others are just .txt and .doc files).
However (and this is the most puzzling part) I can both access and copy and
even move those very same files if I connect through another computer on the
LAN!
How can it be that I can remotely manipulate files in ways that would make
the make the computer crash when locally done on the system?
