Hi, having issues with parallel,

I'm trying to copy the .hds as per the " Error message "Hdd file is missing, corrupted, or used by other application" appears upon virtual machine startup" article and my imac osx lepoard intel can't copy the file , I get the following error message

The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "windowsxp.hdd.0.{5fbaabe3-6958-40ff-92a7-860e329aab41}.hds could not be read or written (Error code -36)

I've been able to copy the .hds when I faced a parallel error a few months ago but for some reason cannot do so this time..

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

cheers

Paul
 
As a first step please restart Mac and perform permissions repair, also make sure that you do not copy hds file to disk with FAT32 partition
 
I have tried copying file to both same disk and external disk both times with no success (always get an error message when it gets to 10.10 gigs - 30.1 gigs to be copied in total)

both disks are formatted mac os extended (journaled)
