    Strange Hard Drive Problem

    HI, I am having a strange problem with one of my internal sata drives on my media pc. I just bought a new bigger hard drive and wanted to transfer all my files from the old HD onto the new one but I get an error message on certain files. When moving them over I get the error code 0x8007045D and something about an I/O error.
    I have done a full chkdsk scan with the repair bad sectors option selected which took hours but Windows reported that no errors were found.
    The files in question play fine, the only time I encounter this problem is when I am copy and pasting them.
    Any advice to overcome this problem appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Do you get the same issue if you use Robocopy? Or if you run the copy while in safe mode?

    Just a shot in the dark, but have you tried making a copy of the files on the same disk and then try transfering the copies if it works.

    Re: Strange Hard Drive Problem

    Thanks for the replies. At the moment chkdsk is the only thing I have done. I will try what you have suggested and see what happens. I have moved a few files over ok so it seems to be only certain ones that result in the error.
    Edit - Safemode encountered the same problem. Robocopy didn't seem to do anything so I am going to try Richcopy.

    Robocopy is a command line tool - syntax is

    robocopy.exe "source directory" "destination directory"

    Richcopy is essentially a gui for Robocopy with a few extra bells and whistles.

    Thanks Splash. Richcopy doesn't seem to work either. It seems to be the most recently created files that don't transfer across, maybe the HD on the way out ?
    Luckily It so far seems to have only affected a few gb worth and I have managed to copy across the majority of my data.

    Re: Strange Hard Drive Problem

    You could try using a different (new) SATA cable, and / or attaching the drive to a different SATA connector on your motherboard, just to rule out those as a source of hardware errors...

    Re: Strange Hard Drive Problem

    I tried hooking the drive up to different sata ports with different cables but same thing happened. Luckily it only seemed to affect a very small number of files and I managed to get the rest backed up safely so it's turned out ok in the end. I have taken the old drive out now and will do a full format. Thanks.
