Can antbody help me. I am trying to transfer large files (6g) from one external harddisk to another via an usb hub. I keep getting an 'error 0' message ' an unexpected error occured'. Does anybody know why this is happening and how to fix it?

Thanx

Are both drives plugged into an outlet - if not the hub may not be providing enough power to operate one or both drives.

Don't know where to go from there, besides googling your specific error message.

you're using the GUI right? Try it command line. I've had fewer problems transferring large files that way.
