I certainly have copied more then that at a time, so I doubt that's the
problem.

  My guess, since you mentioned that your using a laptop is that your doing
this over a wireless connection.  I have found that transferring files that
are either very large or many in number always ends up in an error if using
the wireless connection.  If I hard cable it, I don't have a problem.

  What's strange is that my wireless connection appears to work fine for
everything else.  File copies are the only place where I've had a problem.

Subject: [NF] is there a file limit when copying in windows explorer on XP?

I'm copying song directories from one computer to a laptop for a client, and
when we were done, only 1600+ out of 3000+ songs got copied.  I had to use
xcopy to resume the copying.

Is there a limit to the number of files you can copy in one directory?  I
don't think I've ever copied that many files before.
