Hi-

I use Windows XP professional.

I'm trying to copy an mdb file from a CD to my hard drive. When I
make the attempt I get this message:

ERROR COPYING FILE OR FOLDER:
Cannot copy "filename": The parameter is incorrect.

What is this about? I have copied hundreds of files in the past with
no trouble. I am not issuing a command with any parameter switches,
just using copy & paste to do the job. I have also tried using Window
Explorer's built-in copy button with the same resulting error message.
Does it have to do with the way the file was burned to CD on the
source computer?

As a test, I popped in another CD and copied an mdb file with no
trouble. So what is with this error message and this one particular
CD? The filename that I am copying has an apostrophe in it. It
copied okay from the source computer to the CD (on a Win 2000 system).

I have tried looking up this error message in the MSKB, but didn't
find any articles pertaining to it.

Anyone with experience on this?

Try same disk, another machine. An apostrophe may not be an illegal
character but I would refrain from using them in file names.

Sorry Dave, didn't mean to reply to you personally. I can try that disk on
another machine, when I have access to one, but...Can you or anyone tell me
what the error message means?

More than likely the file and or disk is corrupt/damaged.

It was a corrupt disk. I used a "rescue" utility to get the file, which had
been written to a bad sector. The data looks fine.
