    'Can't read from source or disk' error message.


    Greetings,

    Since yesterday, I've been getting the 'Can't read from source or disk' error when trying to move a .BIN file (252kb size) from my E: internal hard drive to any other internal or other external drives.

    Unlike the other problems I've seen when searching the forum, the file I am trying to move CAN be renamed and deleted. Problem is, I can't open or move it. Attempting to open the .BIN file with notepad will give me the 'cannot open the ~ file. Make sure a disk is in the drive you specified' message.

    I have tried the dskchk and it did not work. It seems the problem lies within that file and not the drives because every other files were transferred successfully.

    I would be appreciated if anyone have a fix for this.

    Welcome to the Seven Forums.

    Personally, I would do an offline scan first:
    What is Windows Defender Offline?

    If that comes back clean, then try unlocker to move the file - but see the bottom of this post first:
