I was able to copy all of my photos to the server. After that I realized that I had to update the server, which I did. Now I cannot copy any files to the server without getting a "Cannot Copy ****.***: Access Denide. Make sure disk is not full full or write protected and that the file is not in use."None off the above apply. The only way that I have been able to copy file over is through logging on via the web browser. Can someone help? I just installed my WHS today. I was able to copy all of my photos to the server.

I guess I should have posted earlier to state that I figured it out and solved my problem. I did the same thing that KevinS did.It appears that me must fight our need to organize our WHS Software folder too much. The Home Server Connector Software folder must remain on the root of the share and not be moved to a more logical location like \\servername\software\WHS Software\Home Server Connector Software. It would have been nice if Microsoft had found a way to lock this folder down or warn you if you tried to move it. Oh well, that may be technically impossible or just not worth the effort to them.Anyway, I am back up and running normally. Yeah.

These are to show Vista in particular, that there is more free space available; previously, Vista could only see the free space on D: no matter how much you had. Now, it sees the total free space available to it as well. For you, I would imagine your D: space is 212, while Vista can now use 440.It's nothing to do with data corruption The ‘strange’ numbers are a result of the new free space rules introduced in the update.

Total size is 212GB, free space is 440GB? Total size used is some garbage number. This is happening on all our PC's -- both Vista and XP. What the heck is going on here?
