Comment: We have a fresh installation of Windows 2000 professional and promptly copied user files from an old hard-drive to the new. Now we find we can't copy or move files around on the harddrive or to an external device. Has anyone experienced such a problem and pls advise what was the cause and fix. File system - FAT32 Thanks in advance for any feedback/advice

Reply: (edit)Hi.
Do you mean that the Windows 2000 Pro is Fat 32, or that the files you are moving are Fat 32?.

Reply: (edit)Check the permissions of the account you're using; maybe you don't have enough privileges. Try logging on as Administrator or as a Power User. Good luck.

Reply: (edit)Thanks for your responses. The OS file system is FAT32. We logged in as Administrator with all rights enabled and still no joy. Extra info. We are able to create/modify/delete files on the harddrive,
but unable to copy/move files around or to removable media. Copying over the Network is OK. That is why this problem, is so perplexing. It's usually the other way around.
