Beeps when copying from one fixed drive to another fixed drive
I have a laptop with Windows 98. It has 3 seperate partitions as it will not
support a hard drive larger than 2 GB. I have tried to copy files from one drive partition to another and the computer speaker will beep and the file will not even attempt to copy or move. I have an external drive and I have tried to copy files to it as well. All attempts to copy or move files in windows fail. They can be copied in a dos window. |

What exactly is the procedure you are using to do this copy?

I have tried to copy using the Windows Explorer and Through my computer.
Either by copying and pasting or dragging and dropping. It will not even let me copy from a CD-Rom drive to another drive. If you install new software it will copy the files that are done during the installation. But you can not do anything manually. I seems like it is a security issue. But I am logged in as the administrator and there is only the one user on this laptop. |

Can you identify what happened when this problem first appeared?
Try doing a repair of IE - version conflicts in DLL files are a common cause of this type of problem, and repairing IE may cause the correct DLLs to be re-installed. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) "Brent" wrote in message ...
