I get this message when trying to copy files to another disk: Cannot copy <<filename>>: Access is denied Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use.
I tryed to re-install windows with all updates on new disk, scaned my disk for viruses, spyware. I can move or delete this mp3 files on same disk but cant move to another disk. How to fix this annoying problem ?
