It looks like the problem is some corrupted files that aren’t transferring. After I delete the file it works fine. The problem is that I have to keep watching it to watch where it stops and then I have to go back and delete that file and start copying all over again.
I didn’t want to spend the money on a HD reader although I suspect that at the end I may have to because I have an older laptop with a broken integrated videocard so I can’t even get into that one unless I buy an external video card. I was going to just plug that HD into my brother’s computer though.
