Windows 10: External HDD error while copying

Hi!I just bought a new external HDD, to make a second copy of everything I have in my PC. First, I tried to copy folders from a HDD to the other, but everytime it would crash 30 seconds after.I tried to copy the files from the HDD back into the PC where they were originally from but I got the warning that the files might be harmful for the computerWhat can I do?

:)

 

error 0x80070057 While moving and copying files from internal hdd to external hdd

Hello, i tried almost ten pages of google search of fix to no result.

Windows 10 tells me that:

"Impossible to copy file. Unexpected error. If the error persist it's possible to use error code to search for additional info of the problem

Error 0x80070057, incorrect parameter"

Semi-letteral translation from italian language.

I tried:

- changing decimal symbol with a .(dot)

- setting additional decimal numbers (from 2 to 9)

- performing chkdsk on the drive

- performing sfc scan (i noticed a error in opencll.dll in the log)

- copy a file from the INTERNAL hdd to EXTERNAL hdd, come files copy, some don't.

- copy a file from the EXTERNAL hdd to INTERNAL hdd with success

- use a different USB cable

- use a different USB port

The only thing i have not tried is format the hard disk, because i have nowere to store all my files in the meantime

size doesn't seems the issue, my hdd are all NTFS from the storage management.

i tried to copy a 150 MB file, nothing.

copy a 40 MB file, copied.

Copy a 1,5 GB file, before a restart nothing, after magically works.

Just for fun i tried to copy THE SAME 1,5 GB file to my internal hard disk, success, then try to copy AGAIN to the external, nothing.

The external hard disk is a WD green (i think) 3TB version.

Needless to say i can access ALL of the files in both hard disks correctely (so i think they are not corrupted or anything)

edit: i also tried to look in event viewer about the issue but i can't see nothing in the correct time i made my test.

Hi,

Usually, this problem occur due to software incompatibility or corrupted USB drivers. For us to better assist you, we would like to clarify the following:

• Have you made any recent changes on your computer prior to the issue?
• Which driver did you uninstall? Have you reinstall the driver? If yes, how did you reinstall the driver?
• Have you check if the external HDD is visible in Device Manager?

If the issue still persists after uninstalling some games, we suggest that you run the troubleshooter for hardware and devices. If you're using the latest Windows 10 version, follow these steps on how to run the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter:

• Click the Start button and select the Settings
  icon.
• Choose Update & Security from the list.
• Click Troubleshoot in the left pane of the window.
• Under Find and fix other problems, select Hardware and Devices and click
  Run the troubleshooter.

We're looking forward to your reply.
