File copy in windows 7 virtual PC

I am running virtual machine (XP) in Windows 7 Pro.  Every time I right click a file in windows explorer in the VM and click copy, the VM shuts down.  Really annoying as cannot back up data files to an external disk.  What am i doing wrong?

Hi mb12345,
How long has the issue persisted?  Started with the virtual machine installed or since recently?
In addition to Bob’s suggestions
Have you tried other method for copying files? Such as right click dragging and dropping, Ctrl + C or Xcopy command line. Please try these and check if the issue still persists. If it does, the issue might be caused by memory problem, you could try increasing
memory on Windows XP virtual machine
If these workarounds work fine, try give a clean boot for your virtual machine, because it might be caused by software compatibility or virus infection.
You also could reinstall your virtual machine to check if it is related to your host machine or virtual PC tool.    
Regards

  • Scripting file copy to windows server

    Hi all,
    We need the ability to copy files from the Mac G5's running 10.4.x to a windows based server (2003) across our LAN. Looked at scripting Terminal but it does not seem to support apple script the way I would like - ie copy /file to //server.
    The reason we need to do the copy like this is to prevent resource forks and the .ds_store from coping as well, more of a unix copy. These hidden files are really messing up the system we are coping to (SQL DB).
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance
    Bill

    I don't know enough about Visual Basic to feel
    competant to run a script to do this. I disagree with
    the statement that there is "nothing to fix" however.
    These dot files litter our Windows server and even
    with Blue Harvest running I am constantly having to
    use the Server Management Console to close these dot
    files so that our real files can be moved, copied, or
    deleted because when the server sees these as open it
    sees the real file as open even when it isn't.
    I had the option of FSM (File Services for Macintosh)
    with the server, but we have thousands of files that
    would have to revert back to 31 character filenames.
    Rather than do that, I chose to stick with the SMB
    protocol. It's a right pain getting it to work and
    then we have the dot files on top of it. It wouldn't
    be an issue with a Mac server, but I don't have one.
    So, in my view Apple still has not fixed this.
    I'm glad I asked the question though, because I made
    the assumption that Tiger fixed this. Since it hasn't
    I have yet another reason to stay in Panther.
    And what happens with the files that still need resource forks? They're are still a Mac applications out there that make use of metadata. How are you going to selectively decide which metadata to preserve? Have ever had to help a user whose files suddenly turned into "unix executable" files after copying them to a server? You'll quickly realize that there are instances when metadata must be preserved.

  • Force Quit a file copying dialog window without Relaunching Finder?

    Is it possible to quit a process in the Activity Monitor or in Terminal to stop a Copy process and close the copy process window without Relaunching the Finder?

    I have 10.5.4 and I still can't copy anything. Most of the time, it hangs on "preparing to copy" and sits there forever. I've looked and searched on this forum and apparently many people are having this problem and there are no solutions!!! Why can't this OS do something as simple as drop and drag, or copying items from one place to another?? The only way to get out of this is to hold power button down on computer, and that's got to be not good.

    Thanks a lot! I have already downloaded Paragon Driver and it works well with seagate external hard drive. I am copying as of now my important files from my mac to it. However, I have only the trial version which will expire in 10 days. I don't have credit card to buy for it.

  • Mac OSX file copy to Windows Share folder permissions

    We'd got a few Mac's, one is snow leopard and the other is Lion.  The scenario is:
    Mac:
    Go > Connect to server > smb://servernamehere > Connect > select your share
    The authentication box then pops up, they've been typing in a username and password to connect to Server 2008 (Active Directory here by the way).  I don't think it matters if they type in "DOMAIN\username" and the password or just "username" and the password.
    They try to copy files around but they get this wacky -xx number and their Macs lock up.
    On the Windows Server Side I look at the folder permissions and the users they're using are all golden, full permissions.  I look at a test folder I create and it too looks good.
    The weird thing is this:
    If I look at the folders on Windows it looks normal but if I open the command line on a Mac, do:
    cd /
    cd Volumes
    ls
    cd Folder_I'm_Connected_To
    ls -la | grep testfolder_I_made
    I get these results...
    drwx------ 1 Their_Username_Here  staff  --> Some other stuff here like a folder size, date, time and the folder name
    My question is this I guess.
    Do I have to join these Macs to the Windows domain for the permissions and folder views on the Mac to look right AND to have them funtion properly?  The user of the other Mac says she never types in any authentication stuff, she just clicks a folder shortcut on her Mac ans she's in.
    I would expect the permissions to at least say something like:
    drwxdrwx---
    The Windows server doesn't have the group "staff" which makes it seem the Mac isn't looking at the mounted volume in the same way Windows is.  They also had this problem on AFP and SMB shares directly on a FreeNAS box which is also BSD like a Mac.
    As a result of the Macs behaving similarly on both Windows and BSD (FreeNAS) I think this seems to be some wacky Mac behavior and I just can't figure it out.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi, same results at the terminal command on a SMB share, observed here with mac computers running with OsX 10.8 with Windows 2008 R2 SMB shares. My issue is that theses computers need to copy files on theses shares with Chronosync or Carbon Copy and this is not working due to an "modify file attributes permissions" error. But if I copy the files using "Finder" it works great.
    You don't need to join your computers to your domain to get it to work. The error that you are talking about is the -5000 error ???

  • Issues with Lion's Finder File Copying (+ Temporary Solution)

    1) When copying a file to my workplace's file server (via SMB), the file will appear to copy, and the file's "placeholder" will appear. Upon completion of the copy, the file will disappear.
    2) When copying multiple (presumably large) files to my external FireWire 800 drive, the file copy progress window will close, as though the copy has succeeded. However, upon closer inspection, the file sizes of the copied directories do not match, and many files are missing.
    In the meantime, it appears that the "ditto" command with the -rsrcFork flag will copy files correctly.
    If you aren't familiar with command line, but want to give this a whirl (if you are in a tight spot, for example), here's how to copy a text file called "myfile.txt" from your desktop to an external drive named "Storage":
    ditto -rsrcFork ~/Desktop/myfile.txt /Volumes/Storage

    isnt working for me.. getting this:
    ditto: can't get real path for source

  • File Copy Dialog box hangs in mid-copy; Cancel does nothing.

    Hi all,
    I'm having the aforementioned issue fairly often with Windows 7.  It seems to happen when copying to network shares.  It is more than annoying--it is literally stopping production at our company.  I would really appreciate an realistic fix
    for this--that is, one that isn't the catch-all "Reinstall windows".
    Let me further state that it has nothing to do with hardware--I can reliably copy the same files in XP.  It is a Windows 7/Explorer thing.
    It also seems to be size-related--but I haven't had the time to do scientific testing to verify this.  I know that if I'm copying an Access .mdb file from my development machine (Windows 7) to a client machine (mostly windows XP) with a mapped drive,
    it seems to hang.  But if I compact/repair the .mdb file and bring it from, say 25 meg to 12 meg, it seems to copy fine.
    Worse, is that when it hangs, I'll finally hit "Cancel" after a few minutes, and then the entire Windows 7 locks!!  I can't do anything until I ctrl-alt-del and kill the Explorer.exe process, which wipes out my desktop, etc, until Explorer.exe auto-starts.
    This is such a huge problem that I  have to think there's a fix upcoming.
    Thanks,
    --Jim

    Hi,
    May I know how it works if you copy files between local drives? Please also boot the system to Safe Mode with networking and check this issue.
    In addition, may I know more information about the machine which hosts the share folder you mapped is located, a Windows based computer? Please also
    let us know the operating system.
    Based on my research, I would like to suggest the following:
    1.   
    Try disabling Receive Side Scaling, Chimney Offload, and NetDMA support and see if it works:
    Information about the TCP Chimney Offload, Receive Side
    Scaling, and Network Direct Memory Access features in Windows Server 2008
    2.   
    Also run the following commands in Windows 7:
    netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
    netsh int ip set global taskoffload=disabled
    3.   
    Try Robocopy:
    Get to Know Robocopy for More Powerful File Management
    For detail information about the usage of the Robocopy command, please also refer to:
    Robocopy
    Meanwhile, I would like to share the following with you for your reference:

  • Storage Spaces: Virtual Disk taken offline during file copy, marked as "This disk is offline because it is out of capacity", but plenty of free space

    Server 2012 RC. I'm using Storage Spaces, with two virtual disks across 23 underlying physical disks.
    * First virtual disk is fixed provisioning, parity across 23 physical disks: 10,024GB capacity
    * Second virtual disk is fixed provisioning, parity across the remaining space on 6 of the same physical disks: 652GB capacity
    These have been configured as dynamic disks, with an NTFS volume spanned across the two (larger virtual disk first). Total volume size 10,676GB. For more details of the hardware, and why the configuration is like this, see: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserver8gen/thread/c35ff156-01a8-456a-9190-04c7bcfc048e
    I'm copying several TB from a network share to this volume. It is very slow at ~12MB/sec, but works. However, three times so far, several hours in to the file copy and with plenty of free space remaining, the 10,024GB virtual disk is suddenly taken offline.
    This obviously then fails the spanned volume and stops the file copy.
    The second time, I took screenshots, below. The disk (Disk27) is marked offline due to "This disk is offline because it is out of capacity". And the disk in the spanned volume is marked as missing (which is what you would expect when one of its member disks
    is offline).
    I can then mark the disk (Disk27) back online again, and this restores the spanned volume. I can then re-start the file copy from where it failed. There doesn't appear to be any data loss, but it does cause an outage that requires manual attention. As you
    can see, there is plenty of space left on the spanned volume.
    Each time this has happened, there are a few event 150 errors in the System event log: "Disk 27 has reached a logical block provisioning permanent resource exhaustion condition.". Source: Disk.

    This error seems to be related to thin provisioning of disks. I found this:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/hh848068(v=vs.85).aspx. But both these Virtual Disks are configured as Fixed, not Thin provisioning, so it shouldn't apply.
    My thoughts: the virtual disk should not spuriously go offline during a file copy, even if it was out of space. And in any case, there is plenty of free space remaining. Also, I don't understand the reason for why it is marked as offline ("This disk is offline
    because it is out of capacity"). Why would a disk go offline because it was out of thin capacity, rather than just returning an "out of disk space" error while keeping it online.

    Interesting Thread, I've been having the same issue. I had a failed hardware RAID that was impossible to recover in place, so after being forced to do a 1:1 backup, I find myself with 5 2TB hard drives to play with. Storage Spaces seemed like an interesting
    way to go until I started facing the issues we share.
    So my configuration is A VM Running Windows Server 2012 RC with 5 Virtualized Physical drives using a SCSI interface, 2TB in size that make up my storage pool. A Single Thinly provisioned Disk of 18 TB (using 1 disk for parity)
    Interestly enough, write speed has not been an issue on this machine (30~70MB/s, up from 256k on the beta) 
    Of note to me is this error in my event log 13 minutes before the drive disappeared:
    "The shadow copies of volume E: were deleted because the shadow copy storage could not grow in time.Consider reducing the IO load on the system or choose a shadow copy storage volume that is not being shadow copied."Source: volsnap, Event ID: 25, Level: Error
    followed by:
    "The system failed to flush data to the transaction log. Corruption may occur in VolumeId: E:, DeviceName: \Device\HarddiskVolume17.(The physical resources of  this disk have been exhausted.)"Source: Ntfs (Microsoft-Windows-Ntfs), Event ID: 140, Level: Warning
    I figure the amount of space available to me before I start encountering physical limits is in the vicinity of about 7TB. It dropped out for the second time at 184 GB.
    FYI, the number of columns created for me is 5

  • Using one copy of Windows to install via boot camp and on a virtual machine?

    I have a copy on windows 7 coming in the post and I was wondering if it is possible to install windows 7 via boot camp when I want to do something more memory intensive such as gaming and also install it on a virtual machine such as virtual box just for other regular stuff. Also would this be possible using one copy of windows and one licence key?

    Then you need Parallels or Fusion to link to a native Windows partition.

  • Copying large files problem in windows 7 x64 professional

    Hi!
    I'm new to this forum and I recently installed windows 7 professional without too much trouble in my pc. The only thigs that doesn't work are the quicklaunch buttons (which I'm expecting HP to release it until october 22). The system is functioning ok, but I discovered a very serious problem when tranferring large size files (copy or move function) to an external source (in my case a external HD: model Western Digital My book 1 TB connected via USB). 
    When I try to move a file that is larger than 1 GB the system during the process gets slower and slower rendering my system useless unless I cancel the process and restart. This only happens when moving files from my notebook to my HD.
    I've been doing my homework and I checked microsoft technet forums, here's what I found:
    1.It seems a lot of people have this problem, in particullar the ones with an asus motherboard (which I know this isn't the case). But in my case since I don't know which motherboard my notebook has, I can't come up with a solution to this problem.
    2. It seems to be a particullar problem with the 64 version of windows.
    3. The users claim that the problem was solved when they upgraded the chipset, which I somehow tried but with the current vista drivers, but the problem wasn't solved.
    4. Some users claim that by using other software like teracopy or grant full permission control seems like a workaround to this, but no in my case. It doesn't work.
    5. With sisoft sandra I managed to get my motherboard from this notebook but with no luck finding information or upgrades to a Quanta motherboard.
    Here are my system specs (link to the HP site describing it):
    Model: HP pavilion 6950la
     http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01470050&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&softwareitem=ob-55781-1&os=2100&product=3753762
    Windows 7 professional x64
    I'm worried about this and it seems weird to me that no one who has tried windows 7 professional x64 has mentioned this in the forum (or even mentioning it), because I think this is a really serious issue and I would like to make sure it gets known and hopefully solved during these days. I really don't want ot get back to vista just for this. And I hope my post will be useful to the HP people so they can get around this problem.
    Thankd in advance, will wait for your answers.

  • When trying to authenticate my copy of Windows 7 I get an error code 0x80070005 before it even begins to save temporary files.

    I have a mid 2010 iMac and have already had the driver problem as in http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3173 when trying to install windows 7. Now, the authentication period has expired because everytime I try to upgrade it and authenticate it, it gives me the error 0x80070005 before it even begins to save temporary files. What can I do to ensure a proper install? I've purchased the student copy of windows 7 professional and I can't even get it to work correctly.

    Well, the link you gave is for the "black screen" problem, you don't seem to have that issue?
    You should put the Year/Model # of your computer and what OS your using, (10.6/10.7/XP/Vista/W7) in your description as it will help.
    The "error 0x80070005" is actually a Windows only error so you might try Microsofts support site also.
    If you are upgrading from Vista you may need to use the Apple_Win7_Upgrade_Utility first.
    If you are upgrading from XP to W7 then maybe this link will help.
    As @The hatter mentioned you might try a Yahoo/Google/Bing search for the error you get, it seemed to help the person he was helping.
    Look to the right of your post and you should see a "More Like This" window with other posts similar to yours. You should do a erase/clean install of W7 anyway as you don't actually upgrade XP, it just puts all your files in  a single folder for you to re-use not to mention you'll have a Clean OS to start with.
    You CAN do a clean install with the upgrade version also, just reinstall it twice. Basically (the easy/long way) you just (backup) erase/install W7 the first time, don't tell it to update any files yet, then just reinstall over it and let it update/Authenticate and it should work.

  • LOOOOOONG pauses in Windows Explorer with file copy, rename, new folder, etc.

    I am using Windows 7 64-bit pro and I am experiencing horribly long pauses in Windows Explorer on very simple file operations, such as renaming a file, copying a file, creating a new folder, etc. Here is an example:
    1. Open a folder in windows explorer, e.g. My Documents
    2. Select a file
    3. Hit F2 and enter a new name for the file, then hit ENTER to save the name
    4. Windows Explorer now shows the wait cursor and becomes completely unresponsive, sometimes for MINUTES.
    This is crazy. I read somewhere it may be due to shell extensions -- another post specifically called out MagicDisc, but I uninstalled that and still have the problem. After a fresh reboot the problem usually is not there immediately, but always comes back eventually.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Hi Lex3001,
    I would like to confirm what are the results in Safe Mode and Clean Boot?
    I also would like to suggest you run ShellExView again and disable some shell extensions to check the issue.

    Does it work?
