Im unable to copy movies etc unto the hard drive. It gives the following error below Cannot Copy : Make sure the disk is not full or write protected and that the file is not currently in use. I also went into permissions and unticked it there and still cannot copy unto the harddrive. I also then get the following error if I copy a movie as per below: Error copying file or folder ; Cannot copy movie: the operation completed successfuly. Yet their is no movie copied. Please advise. Thanks

Insert the DVD, find it in Windows Explorer, left click on the files you want to copy, right click and select "copy", then left click on where you want to copy to and right click again and select "paste". This will work unless the DVD is copyprotected by the creator.

If the flash drive is not full its because the format that a flash drive uses is FAT32 and that wont let you copy anything over 2Gb's im pretty sure

Your print buffer is full in your hard drive.

Remove programs you don't use
Defrag the Hard Drive
Delete Temporary files in System Tools

Check for possible issue with virus and spyware. Scan the computer with antivirus and spyware. Try connecting a different pen drive and check.

This is due to the file transfer limitations bound by the file format FAT32 (no files larger than 4GB and no folders that contain more than 1000 files). Try formatting the drive to NTFS.

To transfer files larger than 4GB to the drive, the harddrive must have an NTFS File system. Unfortunately, the FAT32 File system is not capable of handling a single file larger than 4GB (to be exact, one byte less than 4GB). Follow the steps below to format the harddrive with an NTFS File system:
Warning, all data on the harddrive will be lost! Please backup the data on the harddrive before proceeding.

1. Locate My Computer (Computer in Vista). Right-click on the harddrive and select Format.
2. Select NTFS from the File system drop-down list.
3. Select Quick Format as the Format option and click Start.
Note: If NTFS is not an available option, close the Format window and follow steps 4-9.

4. Right-click My Computer (Computer in Vista) and select Properties.
5. Select the Hardware tab and click Device Manager.
6. Expand Disk drives and right-click on the harddrive. Select Properties.
7. Click on the Policies tab and select "Optimize for performance.”
8. Click OK.
9. Repeat steps 1-3.

I have had much luck recording on off brand 16X discs as follows:

1) Record a "dummy" program on the hard drive, need only about 15 or 20 seconds.

2) Put a blank disk in drive, and COPY that dummy program to disk. Do not finalize.

3) After a minute or so, window will come up and say "Cannot
complete copy."

4) Now while above window on screen, click HOME MENU, COPY, New program list, Select your movie/program to copy, go ahead and finalize, and START.

5) Think you'll find this is successful, however there might be some brands of blank disks that won't work.

6)Let me know if it works for ya. [email protected]

You will need to copy the files to your hard drive and then copy them to you USB drive. You did not tell me what kind of connection that you have from your Security to copy the files to your computer. You will have to ask the security camera people what you need for that, if you do not know. Are you using a security camera that hooks to your computer constantly? If so the files will already be on your hard drive in a folder that the software has for it. Are you sure that it recorded the things that you saw or needed seen? This should have been set up by a security company. If you did it yourself, you are the only person that knows how you set it up. It is hard to answer this question with a direct answer.
