Sounds like a message about not enough space on the location of destination... Also it could be the type of files, the size of each file, and the total size of all of the files you were copying...
Any other information of the error, what happened after that...???
Did you tried to copy the files again, if so, all of them or a couple first, then the rest...????
No, the destination drive had about 100G on it (USB drive), much more than needed. It was definately an "out of memory" message box each time I tried it. It would run for about 5 minutes, copying files, before failing. Any attempt by hitting the "retry" button also failed.
I was moving a folder over, about 5 Gig. I have done this (and larger) on a 512M XP desktop a thousand times. I am baffled!
Oh yeah, running it using the backup utility worked fine but that is not really what I was looking for.
The drive was attached to one of the back ports but I have never seen a speed difference between those porst and the ones on the side.
But speed is not the problem, even a slow copy should still work without running out of memory. The perfomance tools showed that most of my 2G of memory was available at the same time I was getting the "out of memory" message.
Small numbers of files copy fine. Wait...
OK, I'm back. I just tried copying the folder to the built in hard drive. More things are running right now but, again, "out of memory." So its not a USB drive speed issue.
Just looked for out of memory problems in the Knowledge Base on Microsoft. Nothing at all.

I finally had the time to try this again with the changes in the autotune settings. Same problem.
It appears that Vista can not copy more than a few files at one time the way its currently configured. I did make the copy doing only 20-30 files at a time. That is definately tedious and lengthy. I wonder what is really going on here?
