I'm having problems copying files from Windows system to my HTPC running on Openelec

[Rurouni]

Hey guys, can anyone help me out with a problem? I have no linux experience and I hope one of you has the answer. I have a HTPC with 2x2TB HDDs in it, and installed Openelec xbmc on a USB stick. So far so good. But when I select the big directory (500GB+) on my Windows system and want to copy it all to my HTPC (not all in one time but bit by bit) the system keeps locking up. I can watch any movie now on my HTPC without any trouble, but I can't copy any more files to my HDD, if I do try it, it locks up It's like there is a limit of how much data I can put on my HDD, even though I have still so much space left. Does anyone else have this problem / know a sollution for this?

Thanks in advance!

Have you tried browsing to the SMB share of you OpenElec box on your windows PC and copying the data to:

/Media/*Ext USB Disk*

If you are copying large amounts of data I would recommend a cable connected between your router and your windows PC so data transfer is faster.

which SAMBA share/folder are you copying the files to?

What networking hardware are you running?

This problem is already solved guys but thanks for the help. It appeared that one of the two HDD's that were factory bought was DOA.
