    Drag and Drop woes...from an external drive..

    Running XP Pro, 3 G ram, athlon 64 3500...

    I am an audio engineer and have to transfer some files from a DVD Ram disc(BWF files)...I have an external universal dvd ram drive, (USB2.0)..every time I try to drag and drop the files, either the PC freezes up, or the transfer gets about 3/4 of the way through and stops..(the "flying documents" are still flying and landing in the folder, but nothing on the progress bar past 3/4 or so..) I know it isnt the drive, I just bought a new one to replace what I thought was a bad drive....

    Please help!

    Ive got to get this done.

    Try putting the files on the DVD disc on a memory stick of floppy disc on another pc and then transferring it to your PC, maybe the DVD disc is to blame?
