[FC] FCW and WinXP BSOD

[ext-Bo.Fredrikson]

To the Wish List for FCW

Version used: 2:20 - 10

Problem: Windows XP Pro SP2 BSOD

Hi guys,

I use FCW a lot whenever I can.
However, I have to use Windows Explorer when I copy files from my
Procaster digibox (TV set-top-box) with recording and hard drive to my
external USB backup drive. For that purpose I use a laptop with WinXP
and connect the digibox as an USB drive.

Sometimes Windows Explorer stops copying files with the message:
 Error Copying File or Folder
 Cannot copy "filename": The volume for a file has been externally
altered so that the opened file is no longer valid.

When I try again it hangs on an other file and so on until I'm ready.

Somehow the Procaster digibox is fiddling with the files I'm currently
backing up.
Don't ask me for the reason, I find it weird as the files I'm copying
were recorded month ago.

I started using FCW and each time this file error happened I got the
infamous BSOD.
Copying could go well for 15-30 minutes, but sooner or later XP crashed.

Somehow FCW is handling this type of file error differently than Windows
Explorer.
Is it possible to fix/work around?

I still prefer to use FCW.

Thanks for listening,
Bo in Finland
