Can't read from the source file or disk.

im finished with checkdisk of drive D:, now im still getting cant read from source file or disk error!!!!!

is it time for me to change hard disk?

ok, i just bought a new HDD 500gb, btw~ my old hdd was WD 250gb, and now i bought again WD hehe.

btw~ tnx every1 who tried to help.

also, back then only files were getting corrupted, 2 days ago, folders were being attacked, so i had to buy new one ASAP. :)

Try this:
1. Zip the file and copy to the desired location
2. Unzip.

Worked for me

I've got the same problem. I am copying from drive M to Drive Z. (Both are external) This is happening on multiple files. JPG's, excel files, word files, you name it. In the middle of copying a half gig directory I get the error message "cannot read from file or disk". I can open the files just fine. I can copy them to my C drive with no problem. But if I then try to copy them to the Z drive I get the same message, "Cannot read from source file or disk". I am stumped.

For some reason that worked. Genius!

With so many annoying error messages relating to basic procedures, it's no wonder so many people stick with Windows XP....
