Hard drive error while copying files


Hi, Im using windows XP home edition at the moment.



Recently I use bit torrent and download like 3GB files everyday which is stored in my C: drive.  

2 days ago, when i tried to move the file i just finished download from C: to my external hardisk but windows showed windows explorer error and all the program is just closed.



I tried to move the file first from C: to D:(partition hardrive) and then tried to copy them again into my external hardrive, but it shows cannot read memory (something... i forgot)



what should i do?
Try to xcopy the data over to the external drive.



start>run>type "cmd">hit ok  

In dos window type "xcopy /?" this will show you all of the parameters or switchs used in xcopy.



If you are not famaliar with dos you may want to seek out a friend who is.
I had the same problem a couple of months back. Now if this is happening only with Chrome and not with other browsers, then the problem cannot be a virus. But it can be a virus if other browsers and programs are facing equal problems.  
  
So, with chrome as we all know there is a memory problem. So to solve that follow these simple steps.  
  
1. On the top right menu icon, select History  
2. From there select "clear browsing data"  
3. It will prompt for the time span, there you select "beginning of time"  
4. You might lose few data like saved passwords, favorites, but no data will be removed which are saved properly.  
  
After you are done with this, clean your system with Disk Cleaning Software. While doing this don't keep any browser window open especially Chrome.  
If you notice, it is skipping out the Chrome from the list, you have to select the program manually and click on "clear".  
  
After this restart your system and see if it works. If it doesn't then you have to undergo the entire process of uninstalling and re-installing Chrome. first try testing your RAM (goldmemory or memtest)
  

  
if the memory pass the tests try reparing your xp, if repair doesn't pass from any reason, pull your HD take it to your friend, back up the data, and reinstall OS Hello, 
  

  
Try this 1 
  

  
Click on the below hyperlink "Download" and download the file 
  

  
**Download**
  

  
First backup your registry by following the below instruction 
  

  
Click on Start --> In search box, type regedt32 and press Enter. 
  

  
"Registry Editor" will be opened. Click on File --> Export 
  

  
Now extract the downloaded file --> Double click on that file --> Click on "Yes" 
  

  
Now restart your PC 
  

  
Good Luck well, transferring your data and transferring that and your settings are different. data, such as music, letters, video, pictures can burn to disk or copy/move to external drive. installed applications won't go, you'll have to reinstall from disk or download. on the other hand, you can transfer settings, favorites etc. use files and settings transfer wizard. or laplink software and cable. Kayahankahriman and Komurojun, I am sorry you are both facing Error 191 while installing Adobe XD.  This error often occurs if the computer has any restricted access to installing Univeral Windows Platform applications.  Have you both been able to install updates and applications through the Microsoft Store as was discussed in [Error code 191 when installing XD on Windows](https://helpx.adobe.com/xd/kb/exit-code-191-while-installing-adobe-xd-windows.html) ? hi there floriann software,

first of all, i would say that it is always a better idea to open up a new thread, instead of engaging in an old one.

apart from that, as the drive is recognized on other systems except for the xp one, then it comes to drivers. make sure you go to the mobo's website and update the drivers.
is the drive initialized as mbr. in case it is initialized as gpt, i would advise you to back up all the data and initialize it as mbr. win xp has some limitations on that: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2581408

cheers,
d\_know\_wd :) the problem has been solved.

i got in contact with our provider and they were able to apply the proper access to the folder for verification.

thank you for all of your help and patience. this thread can now be closed. try that drive with another computer. if it doesn't work, it's probably dead. Hi,
  

  
I reinstalled Win XP64bit on my HP dv6000, I got the same error message, but, I accessed to BIOS, disable the Functionnality "SATA" (I don't remember now for the exact function), just disable it, save an reboot, then you can reinstall WIN xp 64bit without any prblm.
  

  
Let me know if you need any help.
  
Regards clean the floppy disk drive then try again. anywho, since it's me, i would've backed up those contents to a cd/dvd or portable drive already so no problem.
