    You can try chkdsk /f on the hard drive and see if that helps.

    Also, you can try adding another hard drive to the server and see if that can copy the files.

    Hi Steve, have you tried to copy files to other external drive or flash drive? Does the same issue occur? Does the issue occur if you copy files via network share?
