Backing Up My Ex HD Problems....


Hello,

I went to back up my music collection from a 1TB Lacie to a 500 WD, something I have done successfully several times without a hitch. However, this time the coping could not be completed because it thinks it has filled up the space on the WD HD.

I have about 290GB of music and I typically drag the Lacie "Music" folder over to the "Music" folder on the WD. I will get a message that it cannot move because there isn't enough room, so I click "replace" and that usually works. This time,the process stopped at about 30% and message comes up that says the WD is full.

How can this be? Am I missing something? Technically, the 500 GB WD has no more information on it than the Lacie does at about 290GB. Any ideas?

Is it possible your WD library has multiple copies filling up the space?

You can always format the WD and begin again.
