Copying Files over Files on Ex HD....

[jb8312]

Hello,

 

I went to back up my music collection from a 1TB Lacie to a 500 WD, something I have done successfully several times without a hitch. However, this time the coping could not be completed because it thinks it has filled up the space on the WS HD.

 

I have about 290GB of music and I typically drag the Lacie "Music" folder over to the "Music" folder on the WD. I will get a message that it cannot move because there isn't enough room, so I click "replace" and that usually works. This time,the process stopped at about 30% in a message comes up that says the WD is full.

 

How can this be? Am I missing something? Technically, the 500 GB WD has no more information on it than the Lacie does at about 290GB. Now all of the sudden I don't have enough room om the WD?

 

Any help?

 

Thanks, jtb
