Problem moving folders from external drives to a Windows 7 library
I have a new Dell computer (XPS 8500) running Windows 7 Professional. I have an old Western Digital My Book external drive (USB 2.0) and a new one (USB 3.0). The old drive has a cloned (Acronis) version of my old computer on it. The new computer had a little trouble finding the old drive but eventually did so, and no trouble finding the new drive. I was able to copy the folders I wanted from the old external drive to the new one but not from either the old or the new into a Library I created for stuff from my old computer. Of course I can link the folders to the Library, but not actually copy them to it- which is what I had planned to have old and new data in one place, reserving the new external drive for clones or backup. When I attempt to either drag the folder or do a copy, I get the red circle with a line through it. Any suggestions for what is going on?
