First off, I'm a new boy here - Hello.
Second, "Dear Moderator - aren't you taking the image verification a bit far ? Once at log in would seem to be enough to discourage auto generators"
And finally my question. I have a Mac Mini running 10.6, and am trying to copy (a lot) of files (using the finder) to a FAT32 formatted external drive to use at work on a PC. Copying always fails.
I have searched for an answer to this and not (yet) found one, and given the amount of comment elsewhere, I'm a bit surprised to find none here. My problem is when copying drive to drive in the finder, I virtually always get an error "Item with that name already exists". The item doesn't exist on the destination drive, but copying is stopped.
Is there a workaround other than copy every folder and file independently - as suggested elsewhere. That's fine for a few files, but not for thousands.
Help
