Copying files to a usb hard drive
I try to copy files to a usb harddrive but windows just stays there copying forever. I tried the usb hardrive on another computer and it works fine. I am using Windows 7 ultimate x64.

Connect the external, go to device manager, expand disk drives, right click on your drive and select properties. It should tell you if it is working properly or give you an error code with an explanation. While you are in device manager, expand USB at the bottom and see if you see any yellow triangles or exclamation signs by any of the entries.
I checked device manager and everything is working fine.
Also when i cancel the copying it never really cancels unless i unplug the usb cable from the drive.
Welcome to Seven Forums dallasjme. Does the USB hard drive work otherwise and shows with a drive letter in Computer?
All drive manufacturers have a diagnostic program. Go to the drive manufacturers web site and download the program and test the drive.
Seems my computer just does not copy any file to any usb harddrive (seagate, hitachi, etc.). I tried the teracopy but it still does not copy.
Have you installed the motherboard chipset drivers?
You may also check whether USB is enabled in the bios.
