P2 files refuses to move or be copied over, Error Message: “…some data in ‘0001LJ.MXF’ could not be read or written.”

I was wondering if anyone has ever gotten the following message when they have tried to copy or move P2 Files from one hard drive to another.

The ERROR MESSAGE I received is as follows:

“…some data in ‘0001LJ.MXF’ could not be read or written.”

I was on a 2 camera shoot and the files were downloaded to a hard drive as we were shooting and then the cards were reformatted and reused.

The next day the hard drive was given to the editor who had problems moving or copying one of the 30 or so files that we captured the day before.

Again the ERROR MESSAGE I received is as follows:

“…some data in ‘0001LJ.MXF’ could not be read or written.”

Does anyone have any thoughts on the above ERROR MESSAGE or similar problems. Thanks…

Might be a corrupt clip. Put the card back in the camera and use the REPAIR function to fix it.

Thanks will try that. It also seems that it might be a problem with the hard drive that we were using. 2 editors that I spoke with said that they have had similar problems when using an older or a full hard drive. The hard drive (a Lacie) was both of those things.

I’ve got nothing to add, but wanted to point out to Shane that it was noted the P2 cards were already reformatted. Perhaps Shane has another solution.

You would drag the card folder (CONTENTS and Lastclip) back to a P2 card and repair.

Thanks Jeremy. I had either forgotten or didn’t realize it could be done that simply. 🙂
