I've been trying to copy a large folder containing hundreds of music files to my external hard drive, which is actually a regular SATA hard-drive inside an enclosure, attached to my laptop via USB.
I've attempted this several times, but whenever I do, somewhere along the line I'll get a blue screen of death and the system will dump memory contents to the hard drive before doing a complete restart.
The enclosure is brand-new, so I assume it wouldn't be the problem.
So that leaves the hard drive, but the hard drive itself is relatively new as well (well, 1 year old, but hasn't been used much.)
So does this mean the hard drive is completely cactus?
Can you try a different hard drive (that you know works) in the enclosure, to first of all rule out the enclosure as a problem? – Ash – 2010-10-06T01:43:23.413
Have you tried copying only a portion of the files at a time? Does it always BSOD on the same file? – MBraedley – 2010-10-06T02:38:02.273
What OS are you running? This is usually indicative of a USB driver issue. I've seen it on 64-bit Windows. – None – 2010-10-06T03:30:43.903
@Randolph, Yeah I'm running 64-bit Windows 7. – jonathanconway – 2010-10-06T04:32:22.033
