Can NOT move some files ???

[Nhom]

I can't move some files under XP...Xp says to me that the file is used by another process...but everything is closed...I just rebooted and the same message ?!?

I defragment my hard drive, and it says that the file I can't move cannot be defragmented ?

I can delete it, fortunately !

Have you an idea on how defragment better ?
I have an Hard drive of 20 GB and 8 GB free

Bye gyus

What files?

This file

It is a video DIvx 696 and a 660 divx too...

I think that it happens with BIG files...maybe a bug in the FAT or in the index or something ?!?

I have the same problem as well. Sometimes i can't even delete them (like when i put them on a CD and want to delete them off the HDD).

I have found a way to move/delete them but it takes a bit of patience, which is, create a directory with any name and keep dragging the file into it. Sometimes it moves at the first attempt, but some other times it needs 6-7-8-9 or even 10 attempts for it to move. Then, when in the new directory i can delete it. 🙄

It's weird and happens to me on DivX files as well. I never noticed this happening with any other type of file. Maybe the file is linked to the player in some way ?

I dunno, i just know it happens and it's boring 😡

Yep I had/have that problem too. You can not move them but you can delete them. Only way to do it though is with Nero.
