I will try and get the screen shot of the error. Something about insufficient resources but memory isn't spiked and the drive has 320GB of freespace. I will look into the events (don't recall any but I will look harder.) and robocopy.

What is the **EXACT** error message you get? Copy it verbatim. (Copy-and-paste if possible.) As others have suggested, try ROBOCOPY. If nothing else, it gives better diagnostics than most things. Check Event Viewer for anything related to the disk subsystem or filesystem drivers. CHKDSK the source drive; make sure the filesystem is good. If you run out of ideas: Try "CHKDSK /R" on the source drive. It will likely take several or more hours, but it will confirm the disk and the interface is good. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
