Hi - I am new to this site.  I have a Gateway Notebook w/Windows VISTA.  I WANT to transfer my MicroSoft Office Word 2007 files to a Thumb drive.  I have always in the past put the flash drive in a USB port and wait until I get a message that says it is installed.  Then I click on the entire document, with all the files, and Right Click "SEND TO" and choose the new drive (usually F for me).  Then I get a screen that shows my files transferring with the usual message if you want to replace the file etc.

This time I followed the exact procedure as outlined above (tried it several times in fact), but no files transfer to the thumb drive.  I get a message saying "this file is no longer located in this c/......  Verify item location.
Of course the item is there.  I can open it from that file.  I even tried transferring one file at a time and got that same message.

What am I doing wrong???  How can I get the entire document (with all the folders)  to transfer on the flash drive.   THANK YOU.Try booting into SAFE MODE and following the same procedure.

Restart your computer and tap the F8 key, when you enter the Advanced Options menu, select Safe Mode.

When it boots up into safe mode, try it again...

If it works, then this is an indication that a driver, application, or virus is interfering with it, while in normal mode....

In fact, you should probably, update your anti-virus definitions and run a scan, asap


edit: you could also try USING the command prompt to copy the files....Go into "my computer" and click on the C drive...Then right-click in the window (white area) and click "new", and then click "folder"....Name the folder "microsoft office STUFF" (WITHOUT the quotes)
Next, move all of the files you wish to copy to the thumb drive into the new folder you  just made...  Next, open a command prompt:  Click START (the pearl in the bottom left corner), type RUN into the search box, when it appears in the menu, click on it and type:  cmd   in the box and click OK...At the prompt, type:

copy c:\"microsoft office stuff" f:\     (Include the quotes here!!)

Press enter and it should copy all the microsoft files from the "microsoft office stuff" folder to your thumb drive.............just be SURE the thumb drive is using the DRIVE letter "F" like you said earlier

post back if there are any problems
