Steve,
Ditto! Please check the attributes of the file(s). SyncToy has a real grumble with 'read-only' files.
It did in v2.0, and, it still does in v2.1.
I have had this chronic trouble with PDF files I collect that come to me as 'read-only.' Once I reset the RO bit, the files copy/backup fine;.....even though they end up with a grayed-out
but checked box ?per XP?.

I'm using SyncToy to make an echo backup to an external USB drive. I have one file that has a problem and I could use some suggestions. When I run SyncToy, this file will not copy over, I'm told 'unable to read from disk'. I get the same result when I try to move or copy it by hand. However, since it's an .flv, if I play it (KMP), it plays fine. Checked permissions and set it to full control and still have the problem. Any idea as to what's up. Oh, yeah, every other file on that drive (as far as I can tell), will copy over fine. Strange.

Thanks...Steve
