The situation:
I currently have 4 external USB HDD's pluged into my Mac. I want to copy the contents of these external HDD (which are a variety of files from movies, to pictures and software installation files) to a new larger external HDD (that has both USB and Firewire connection).
The problem:
When I try to copy and paste or drag and drop, I get the following error message:
Now in the above example, the folder is called DON BACKUP, but I have tried with many different folders on the each of the 4 external HDDs and it is the same error message (but obviously with the different folder name in there). DON BACKUP folder actually contains backup files from an old Windows XP PC (not even Mac stuff!).
There is absolutely no system or application (aside from installation .dmg files) files on the external HDD's.
Tried the obvious such as a restart, removing the HDDs and plugging in again, etc.
Any ideas?
