Cannot Copy <filename> : Parameter Incorrect

(1/4) > >>

OfficerHalf:
Searched the forums, found one topic  on this, although the solution was never posted.

Im trying to copy music (an mp3) directly from my HD (Running XP Pro) onto my Ipod Nano 4g 1st Gen. I get an error, Cannot Copy : Parameter Incorrect. This only happens for some files. And I've had one other file do this before, but after restarting my computer, it copied without a hitch. I've tried restarting numerous times, even a complete shut down. Still nothing. Any help on this one?  ???

evilnick:
Try copying the same file to a different drive (or different location on the same hard drive).

If this works then use the copy
If this doesn't work then run scandisk to check the hard drive.

OfficerHalf:
I can copy around my hard drive just fine.  :-\

Yotto:
(This is not a problem with Rockbox, as when your iPod is connected to your computer it is running the Apple firmware)

How are you copying?  Drag/drop?  Right click, copy/paste?  Command prompt copy command?  iTunes?

What is the full text of the error?  (I've never heard of that error).  How does it show up?  Dialog box? Error on the command window? Status bar of a program?

Without knowing any of the above answers, I can't give you a definate answer, but I'd do what evilnick suggests and run scandisk.  It sounds like there's a problem either on your hard drive or on your iPod's hard drive.

I've tried all of these, except iTunes.

That is the full text. Nothing more. When copy/pasting, and Drag/Dropping, it is a little pop up box that shows the message, and has an "Ok". button. In the cmd window, it just says Parameter Incorrect.

Err... and I have no idea what so ever on how to use scandisk...  :-[

I think I might switch back to using the iPod firmware, until an improved version of Rockbox is released. The benefits with Rockbox are great, but I'm having lots of problems. The songs stopping before they end and such.
