Error copying from one IDE harddrive to another

[vandire]

I have a Quantum Fireball AS and an IBM 60gxp hooked up together, on different IDE channels and cables.

Anyway, when trying to copy a 700mb file from the Quantum to the IBM, I get an "ACCESS IS DENIED" halfway through, saying that the disk may be full or write protected, or file is in use.

Well the QUANTUM has about 200mb space left, and the IBM has about 40 gigs left, so I'm not sure how that would affect it.

Any ideas? I'm not using the file or anything

What OS are you using? What are the driver formatted in ?

I'm using windows98 and they are both FAT32

Could be the issue when transfering big files over the VIA IDE driver. Do you have the latest 4-in-1s installed? I know that there's a known issue with the Via 686B... maybe my fellow AnandTechers could shed some light.

I second that and also the question. It sounds like the all to familiar and scary VIA bug.

Alright. I only have the 4.28's installed because with the 4.30 it won't recognize my CD-RW and my DVD rom at the same time.

Thanks guys.

Btw what is the best version to install?

 

[MasterHoss]

Hmm, I think the latest offical ones are v4.31

4.32 FINAL

Or if you would like: Standalone Via 686B Patch

the 4.32's didn't fix the problem- is there anything else I can do?
