I have Mac OS 10.6.3. My internal harddrive is full but I cannot back up my data on external hard drive. I tried moving files to external drive using Finder but Finder never finish the transfer and hung. Finder works okay but hang up when dealing with external drive. I tried to force quit finder and relaunch. But on relaunch it is giving me error 10810 and says :"finder cannot be launched". I have to force macbook shut down. I tried Time Machine but it also hang and I have to shut everything down.
I have bought bigger hard drive and used disk utility (restore) to clone my hard drive. But I won't get rid of this problem. I won't be able to back up my data by upgrading hard drive as it is clone of my old hard drive and will bring all problems along.

any suggestions how I can get rid of this problem? Is there any way to back up all my data?
