I had a similar issue.. Can you copy the song to desktop or another drive?

I had the very same thing happen to me. Your hard drive is about to take a huge dump. (I know you didn't need to hear that, but I gotta be honest.) I would just copy what you can. Look for any shareware copy programs that will let you skip files that already exist. That way if the copy craps out, you can start over without copying everything all over again. It's a slow night, I'm gigging as I type this, so I can't give you any names of programs off the top of my head. If I think of some, I will post.

Yes. Ditch that drive as quickly as you can.

Do you have any way of checking the hard drives S.M.A.R.T. status?

Will this interfere with the performance of VDJ

What’s your opinion on S.M.A.R.T.?

Check a product named visa-versa. It's free and it woks like a charm. I had the same problem trying to do a copy to another drive. Used this program and.... PROBLEM GONE!

Where do you get this visa-versa program? Did a search and didn't come with anything. Thanks
