Installed a new HD now lots of errors

Hi guys,

I'm pulling my hair out. I installed a new SATA hard disk in my Win XP
Pro SP2 box at home. All worked OK. The old 160Gb disk in there I
transferred to another machine (Windows Server 2003) at home which is
connected via a 100mbit router to the XP box.

When I try and copy large files from the Win2003 box to the XP box, I
get lots of different errors which vary each time I attempt a copy. I am
coying a directory containing about 13Gb of files, the largest being 600
or so MBytes. Prior to today they all copied over no problem. I am now
getting these errors:

ERROR 2 (0x00000002) Copying File. The system could not find the file
specified.

ERROR 64 (0x00000040) Copying File. The specified network name is no
longer available.

I'm using robocopy to copy the files with this syntax:

robocopy "\\192.168.1.3\G$\My Music" "D:\My Music" /MIR /R:2 /W:5
/LOG:C:\Temp\robocopy_music.log

I've checked my network card settings and they are unchanged from before
the hard disk change. I have also done a copy locally within a machine,
from the new hard disk (drive D) to the C disk and that works OK.

I have also tried swapping out the router for a 10/100 network hub and
get the same errors.

I'm puzzled. Any ideas?

Sounds like your loosing network connectivity. Did you try replacing
your network cables?
You could also take the old hard drive put it in the other computer and
copy them that way.
