you need to copy them from your saved folder, not limewire's library

Experiment. Create a simple text document file & put onto E drive. Then try to copy that to the external drive. And copy that same document to other drives & try copying from those drives to your external. What happens?

Are you trying to copy to root level of the external drive. Or copying from root level of E drive?

Try moving the video files to a folder within the E drive & copying from there. ie: not copying from root. And perhaps try the same thing with the external drive. Instead of copying to root drive, copy to a folder within the external drive.

Another option is to copy the files to another drive like F or something & copy from there.

How much space do you have left on the external drive? Are you sure you formatted it identically with same format type?
