No, that doesnt work either. I just tried to copy a single PDF file to
the external HD, and that is giving same error; stating Could Not file
file. Although the PDF file is selectable, and can be open on my
computer. So it is definately there.

I have Nortel AV running; I turned this off and still same problem.

I see quite a few other people have seen this problem, as they are
trying to delete files. I of course dont want to delete the file, but
want to make a backup.

Try this...

1. Go to the destination drive and create an empty folder.
2. Open the source folder so all of the contents are visible.
3. Click organize select all.
4. Place your mouse pointer over the selected files.
5. Right click, select copy.
6. Go to your destination drive and paste to the folder you created.

Windows gets a headache if you try to copy a large amount to the root of
a drive. It's best to copy to a folder.

Windows will also sometimes get a headache if you try to copy too much
at one time.

Does anybody know whats going on and how to fix this.

You are trying to copy from a SEARCH window. You need to open the actual
folder the file is in and copy from there...

If you have nothing on the external HDD i recommend either formatting
it, or seeing if you have encryption enabled on those folders.
