Guest Sean Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 Hi, My friend wanted to move a folder from her desktop onto a network mapped drive. She right clicked on the folder on her desktop and clicked Cut, then went to the location on the network drive and right clicked and clicked paste - it went about half way through and then a message popped up saying there is not enough disk space available - she then clicked OK to this message and was left with half the contents of the folder on her desktop and it deleted the other half that had been copied on the shared network drive. She tried straight after to right click and select PASTE to a different location but the PASTE option was greyed out? Is there any way to get this information back Regards

Guest Sean Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 Re: Cut and paste stopped half way through Yeah she looked for the data but nothing there. After she pressed OK to the message about there wasnt enough space it started deleting what it had started pasting on the network drive "Ron Badour" wrote: > She tried > > straight after to right click and select PASTE to a different location but > > the PASTE option was greyed out?

Guest Kelly Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 Re: Cut and paste stopped half way through When the paste part of the operation doesn't happen, the original cut goes back to normal. Meaning to say, the folder should still be there - where it was before the cut. I have seen this done for years. -- All the Best, Kelly (MS-MVP/DTS&XP) Taskbar Repair Tool Plus! http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/taskbarplus!.htm "Sean" <Sean@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:49E67088-7789-4BA5-ACD6-9B9CAEE20F16@microsoft.com... > Hi, > My friend wanted to move a folder from her desktop onto a network mapped > drive.
