Well isn't this interesting (not)

I've just collected together some material on the Vista laptop to shove
over the network to the NAS HD.

The NAS HD has just over 393 Gig free, and I'm trying to shift 19.3 Gigs
from the Laptop to the NAS drive and it won't do it, saying:

"There is not enough space on disknnn."(It is the NAS drive)
"19.4 GB is needed to copy this item, Delete or move files so you have
enough space."

So the NAS drive has 393 Gigs free, and the Laptop itself has, 61 Gigs
free.

Doh!

Any thoughts chaps as it defeats me.

I would suspect permissions. Can you transfer ANYTHING from Vista?

If not, then make sure that the username and password you logged onto
Vista with match a username and password on the NAS, and that that
username has permission to write where you are trying to transfer.

Error messages for network operations are often misleading. The
software was often written with only local discs in mind so "the write
failed" gets translated as the only cause the author could think of,
i.e. "not enough space".

Treat any error message as "it didn't work", and go through the
possible causes, not just the one reported.

disknnn suggests you have the drive mapped. This tells Windows it is a
local drive, so the error messages from the network layer can't reach
the copying software, making the abvove scenario more likely. You need
to check which username and password the drive was mapped using - they
are used at the NAS end for access control checking.

PS: Yesterday transferred 30 Gigs of stuff from the XP machine to the NAS
drive, so my guess... It's gotta be another bit of Vista Sh*t.
