I had XP SP1. It did that. XP SP2 solved that and chkdsk issues on USB 2.0 externals. Not much detail in your post so I have little to go on.

Hi,
I have 2 external storage drives. One states that it has 9 GB left of space, and the other says it has 250GB of space. The problem is that I cannot copy over a single 8GB file to either drive.
I've turned off the computer and the drives. I unplugged everything.
Thanks
