Selected
Files Cannot Be Copied to Flash
Drive
Situation1: Hello, this morning, when
inserting flash drive to my PC and copying some document folders there, I just
received an error message saying: "Cannot find the specified files. Make
sure you specify the correct path and file name." What does this error
message mean? What can I do to transfer my data smoothly now? Thanks!
Situation2: Hey, I was unable to copy
and paste my photos to my 16GB pen drive and told: "error copying...check
administrator…" Thanks for any idea here!
Situation3: Hello, yesterday, when I was trying to transfer data to my Toshiba flash drive that only held about ten photos, I just got a warning message saying this device had no enough free space. However, this 8GB USB flash drive had only several images that had not even occupied about 1GB space. How could this happen? But, I also connected another 500GB external hard disk there and tried to move the data again. And also get the same error message. How do you think about my flash drive problem? What am I supposed to do now? Thank you very much!
