I've been trying to copy files from my 320 GB HDR onto an external hard disc with little success. Having successfully tried a FAT32 formatted 320GB drive (which allowed me to copy over files less than 4GB in size), I thought I would use a disc with larger capacity, primarily to move HD recordings off the internal HDD.
I got hold of a 2TB disc which I mounted in an external enclosure. The disc is formatted to EXT3 and the enclosure has a USB3 connector. The disc will mount OK, but it keeps disconnecting after a short period of time. I can start copying recordings over, but they never finish, meaning that they simply stop playing back perhaps half or two-thirds of the way through.
The encrypted files that have failed to copy now have a disc with a line through icon next to them on the HDD, and I'm unable to try moving them again.
I've tried the external disc on a Linux computer and I can move any number of files onto it without it disconnecting itself.
Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
