Guest Frank X Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 I used to copy all of the files on my office computer (WinXP Prof) to a portable drive by dragging them to a portable hard drive and dropping them. It always worked fine, but I can't do it on my home computer (also WinXP Prof) Whenever I try to back up all my files, I copy "MyDocuments" to one of those portable hard drives that I bought. But each time that I try, it only copies some of the files and then stops. I get the error message: "Cannot copy --------: Logon failure:account currently disabled" where -------- is the name of some seemingly random file. Then I have to restart the machine to get back into my account. When I check, it seems that a few gig worth of files were copied. I can repeat this several times and finally copy all of my files, but don't think I should have to. What's the problem? -- Frank
