The error shown in your screenshot (“Can’t read from the source file or disk”) usually happens when the external drive has minor disk errors, bad sectors, or a file system issue. Since the files are on the same USB disk, the first step is to check the drive health and repair the file system. I can diagnose the drive, run a safe disk check to repair read errors, and then copy the files using a method that bypasses problematic sectors if needed. In most cases this resolves the issue without data loss. I’ve helped fix similar external drive problems where files couldn’t be copied through normal Explorer methods. If you’d like, send me the drive letter and your OS (Windows/Mac), and I can guide you step-by-step or resolve it quickly.
