[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1064329, member: 38864"] I'm doing some searching on this, and I found an ongoing discussion on Apple's boards where this is a known, albeit random, problem when copying files to a FAT or NTFS drive using the Finder. What's bizarre here is that you are trying to copy to your internal drive, formatted appropriately in OS X's native file system. I'm going to suggest you contact [URL="http://www.apple.com/support/expert/"]Apple support[/URL]. This seems to be an unusually unusual problem you are having, and Apple needs to get on top of this. They may have a fix, may not. [URL="http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2231287&start=0&tstart=0"]The thread I was reading[/URL] has some alternate solutions using other software. Feel free to peruse through those. But do consider calling Apple. They really need to fix this, and can't do so without input from their users. Oh hold the phone! [URL="http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=2004041301593855"]I think I found the problem![/URL] It may be related to the way the disc you are reading from was formatted. The thread says that this can happen in particular with discs made using DirectCD in Windows. This is a very old tip dating back to Mac OS 10.3, so I don't know if these same terminal commands will work. They probably will, but I'd feel safer with someone more knowledgeable stating their opinion on it. Your best solution may be to remake those discs in Windows, but if indeed you used DirectCD, then use something else, and do not use the Joliet Level 3 formatting option. [/QUOTE]
