   Strange behavior of COPY/PASTE command   
   01 Aug 11 15:16:44   
   
   From: barrel.full@screwmail.com   
      
   XP SP3 on a little desktop system at my home.   
      
   My intent was to copy a collection of folders and files from a 4 gb USB stick   
   to an existing partition on my HD. Running Explorer, I hilite the   
   4 gb USB stick as j:, do a cntl-c, hilite the existing partition on my HD as   
   e:, and do a cntl-v. Got lots of messages like "Both folders have a file   
   named xxx.yyy. Proceed with copy?" Replied 'Yes' to all. During all this   
   the info popup said "copying from j: to Removable disk j:".   
      
   The files were not copied. I can't figger the j: to j: BS. There's   
   something about COPY/PASTE that I'm missing here.   
      
   Any ideas?   
      
     Thx,   
     Will
