Error copying file or folder.

[Death.Fog]

When I try to copy a file (WAV, 1.23 GB. recorded from microphone) from my MP3 player (Philips HDD6330) to HDD, I get the following error message :

Error copying file or folder. Not enough storage is available to complete this operation.

Any suggestions ?

You're running out of kernel paged pool memory (that's the "storage" that becomes unavailable, because you've used it up) - follow the KB below and reboot, and see if that resolves the issue. If it does not, set the "PoolUsageMaximum" value to 20 (decimal) and reboot, to see if that resolves it.

I rebooted my PC, it did not work. It gave the same error message. When I again selected paste option, not having copied the file from player again (as windows still offered paste option from right-click menu), after a while windows displayed this error message : The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request.

Would you be so kind as to explain how to set "PoolUsageMaximum" value to 20 (decimal) ? Thank you in advance.

You need to add the following registry values, as the KB article I referenced instructed you to do:

Key:   HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management
Value: PoolUsageMaximum
Type:  REG_DWORD
Radix: Decimal
Data:  20

Key:   HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management
Value: PagedPoolSize
Type:  REG_DWORD
Radix: Hexadecimal
Data:  FFFFFFFF

Hopefully after you add the above reg entries and reboot, you'll not have the problem.

I am sorry to say, but I do not see any KB references neither in this post, nor in the previous one.

Your suggestion does not work. I still get the same error.

Darn it - I thought I had linked the KB. Regardless, the error you're getting means you're running out of some kernel resource (and if you're file copying, it's almost always kernel paged pool). Do you see any 2020 events in your system event log?

Unless you have at least 2 GB of RAM, don't even think about disabling the pagefile!
