[QUOTE="dangerous007, post: 548309, member: 43283"] I tried that bro'. Out of all the folders that really matter to me like my 60 GB of legally purchased music (worth thousands of euros) They all give the same error message. I can't afford to lose all this. Please suggest something...coz if not at the worst I'll have to switch back to a PC. Will probably be the first person in the world to make this transition...:p Edit: I've managed to copy some stuff now...but not directly. I have to copy whatever I want to a USB drive and then stick in that drive in a USB port on the Mac to copy again. Needless to say this is gonna take a few days since my USB size is 1 GB whereas I have 80 GB of data to copy. The point that catches my attention is the USB is FAT32 while the drive I was trying to copy from directly was NTFS. Can this be the problem? If so anyway to cure this? Regards [/QUOTE]
