I have an Iomega Zip 250 and use 250 disks. I am trying to copy
program and am using drag and drop. Invariably Iomega stops the
copying process and tells me it cannot copy a certain file. Fpr
example: Cannot copy Qbw: the request could not be performed because
of an I/O device error. My Iomega program is updated, so that is not
the problem.

So...how do I ever copy anything onto my Iomega disk? I need help
please....

Sometimes, "drag and drop" has its problems, including hanging up or
balking at copying certain types or classes of files. Consider the use of
the command prompt and from the command line, use xcopy. For
help on using xcopy, type xcopy /? (or xcopy32 /?) from the prompt.

Ghostrider means going to the DOS box and keying in commands in order
to copy files to the ZIP drive. But if you have never worked with DOS (or
UNIX) before, forget the idea.
