You could also do a chkdsk/scandisk on the drive. What version of Windows is it?

Thanx again Paul. I did do a system accessaries disc check to no avail, not sure if exactly the same thing ? I also did a restore to point three months ago as I was able to copy the Fitts files then to a stick, but believe it or not, the system couldnt complete the restore to that point, Grrr I dont have points further back for some reason ??
Ive also done a complete Windows update (latest) which took about an hour in hope to overright anything currupt in the registry, but prob wrong application to do that ?

The other weird thing i tried was download RegCleaner and that didnt even complete the scan ? ?
As I believe the prob lies in the Registary because I once, and only once had an 'error' code pop up whilst attemping transfer/copy images to stick - so lucky I decided to do a screen snip of it to use if needed. I then googled it on this main PC and come up with these links below if you or anyone care to take a look as it kinda hit the problem right on the head !

Hence: doing a Scan disc check & downloading and run the Regcleaner, but havent been totally successful - yet - might try again tonight as was getting into the early hrs this morn and virtually had enough
I also downloaded the Error Toolkit and ran that, but also wasnt successful, Im not real sure if I have that properly either, as when was completed I ran the Tolkit and when I hit 'fix Issues' it just kinda kept doing another scan and just kept going around in that circle ? Grrr, totally Computer illiterate me is

I also came accross a utube video from the Google seach' on tackling the error from the Bios or Doss (notsure which it called) Configuration mode from hitting the 'F8' key on start-up, but was a bit difficult to match corresponding commands as was a bit lacking in instruction for my level - I got to the stage where it was suggested to unclick any USB corresponding progs that were/could have come up, but only had four things to 'uncheck'boxes and nothing in them I could recognise as being USB related ? ? so decided to play safe in that mode and leave it - for now ? ?

Then, try copying the same JPG along with one FITS file, and see if either copy, or it gets stuck.

Cheers for that Humayan, funny I actually can move a jpg onto the stick and I can also move a Fitts File from one folder on the lappy to another folder on the lappy but not a Fitts to the stick ? I will try moving a Jpg and a fitts together to the stick tonight
Please read above for update on last nights, or should I say early this morns capers mate - save me writting it twice
Cheers for your input
