[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1196909, member: 46727"] Welcome to the Mac Forums. What format is the external hard drive using and were you able to successfully copy some of the folders and files before the error showed up? There could be several reasons why the copy failed, one of which could be that some of the files are corrupt. Also, copying from a drive that is formatted as NTFS may cause an error due to permissions and ownership. OS X (without a driver) can only read from a NTFS drive not write to it. [/QUOTE]
