Cannot Copy <filename> : Parameter Incorrect

<< < (3/4) > >>

Yotto:
Did you copy to your iPod BEFORE putting rockbox on it?  I'm guessing not.  This seems to have something to do with how windows handles the drive, something's not right, and Windows is choking.  Sorry if I sound vague, but the help pages I've seen (I did a google search for copy windows "paramater incorrect" by the way) are just as vague.  Many discuss copying from CDs, and some to and from thumb drives.  It's not that much stretch to expand this to an iPod.

Here also is a search on Microsoft.com

Really, though, this isn't directly related to Rockbox, just a side effect of it.  The problem lies either with windows or your ipod hardware/firmware.

If these pages do nothing, open up explorer and right click on your ipod's drive (It'll probably be E: or D:) and look through that menu.  "Scan disk for errors" is a likely choice under "properties" but I don't have access to an XP machine right now to check.  It'll probaby take a while to run.  Assuming it finds nothing, poke around on Microsoft's website for the latest service pack to your version of windows, and install that.  It could be several hundred meg, so be prepared for that.  IIRC For XP Pro it's Service Pack 2.  It'll likely say you already have it, but allow you to install it anyway.

If all that fails... I don't know.

Apparently this is a veeeeery sparratic error. It just stopped hapening on that file.  :-\ Although, any help on using the tag cache would be appreciated. (Or a link to any help on it.)

 ??? I looked for more info on this in the manual, but I'm just not sure how to use the Tag Cache.  :-[ Any help on that one?

hi. Was googling the same problem and came up with this site. Thought i might just mention that ure not the only one having the problem. I have a samsung yp-t8z and its got the exact same problems...

[ie
the 'Cannot Copy : Parameter Incorrect' problem is completely random (but happens most of the time). Sometimes when i transfer mutiple files then it works...but it usually stops midway on a specific track and has that error.]

does ure ipod work now officerhalf?

the scan disk thing did you mean properties > tools > error-checking ?
If so that did not work =/

my mp3 player was not like this before... Before i could simply drop and drag. Then it screwed up, and i sent it in for repair. came back to me and now its like  so.

Of coz If there aint a solution anywere ill send it for repair.
Hopefully ures has a warrantee that hasnt expired ?
