Sorry for a bit of a delay there. I meant to imply that I checked
attributes and permissions. I'm beginning to think that there are
various limitations to SyncToy. One that I can almost bet on is that
there is a limitation on path length. That and after I take care of
different files that have problems, other files show up with problems.
Strange. Still working on it.

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
