The HDD Imported Files Log could not be opened

[blizzardboy]

I am getting the following message when I try to import zip files.
"The HDD Imported Files Log could not be opened" This message keeps coming up and is preventing me from importing. I read another post on this and the answer might have been that there was not enough space on the HDD. I am using the latest version of hoster. I am trying to transfer from one USB external to the other. There is 450 GB of free space on the destination drive. I am using windows XP on a Dell Inspirion with 1GB of memory. Any Ideas?

That file is just a small text file located in the source folder (with your original Zips or mp3g's).
Take a look and see if it's there (which it should be if you've imported anything from that folder). Try and open it manually (should open in Notepad). If it won't open manually then it may be corrupt.

Could you please explain how to look for that file? Thanks.

Go to the folder in Windows Explorer.
If you cannot see any extensions on the file names (such as ".zip") then go to Tools/Folder Options at top of window. Go to View tab and check all boxes between Files and Folders and Hidden Files and Folders, then set Show hidden files and folders and uncheck the next 2 boxes. Click OK. This will allow you to see all files and their extensions.
Now look for a file with the extension of ".TXT" and there will only be one. Delete the file and you will get the entire list in the import screen. If you have files in there that have already been imported you may want to move them unless you want to re-import them.

There is no file with a .txt extension. The only file in that folder other than the zip files is 1 desktop.ini

Right click on the Folder itself, go to properties and make sure the folder isn't "Read Only" (at bottom of property window).
