Cannot copy files to a new drive
I just installed an M.2 drive for my D: storage drive. The mobo has two M.2 slots & I got a good deal on a Samsung NVMe drive & figured why not.
I'm able to create new folders but cannot copy data into them. I copied data from old PC to EHD to PC with the new SSD.
Initially I was able to copy Firefox profiles onto the new drive & they worked. Then I went to copy Thunderbird profiles & only the first 5 files get copied & I get the following error message.
"An unexpected error is keeping you from copying the folder. If you continue to receive this error. You can use the error code to search for help with this problem.
Error 0x800701B1: A device which does not exist was specified."
I tried different USB ports but to no avail. Also I cannot deleted these files & get the same error message. I tried a different EHD & have the same problem.
I created a new folder for documents, IOW the drive is letting me write to it. Then I tried to copy a folder of documents & again only the first 5 files get copied, but they can't be deleted either.
Any suggestions on how to fix this would be appreciated.
Thanks
