Error code -36 when copying from DVD

[davelincoln]

Hi guys,

I backed up all my data onto a couple of DVDs before formatting and upgrading my ststem but now, when trying to copy this data back I am getting the error message.....

The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “filenamehere” can’t be read or written.
(Error code -36)

I have looked for ages to try and find a solution for this, but there does not seem to be one when copying from a DVD.

If anyone has any advice or a solution to this problem I would be most greatful as some of the data is not located anywhere else.

Thanks in advance

When this started happening to me this past summer, it turned out to be failing optical drive.

Thanks for the reply, I have seen others having the same problem with USB drives though? Do you know of any software type things that can be tried to solve this?

Sorry, but it sounds like data corruption.
