Hi people
I have a mackbook pro with osx snow leopard, and i also have a small (big) problem.
I have two 2 external hard disk drives conected to the mac, in one of them i have a folder with about 35gb that i want to move to the other disc, i've tried everything, copy and paste, drag and drop, etc. and it just wont work.
What happens is that when i move from the disk 1 to the disk 2, in the disk 2 appears a grey "image" of the folder that i'm trying to move, meanwhile the computer is checking all files in the folder to get ready to copy them at last, but when the checking ends, it says that i cant copy the folder because theres already one with the same name in that disk (that grey image). it looks that this problem is only with big files. For example, when i drag and drop a small file like a photo, it's so quick that that grey image of a photo doesn't even appear and the photo is dragged without a problem, but with big files happen what i said.
Both disks are formmated for fat, so thats not the problem
Sorry for my english, and also, if this problem has been debated before
Thanks
