converting mp3-g

[MrMark]

I've been importing my mp3-g's from one hard drive through the hoster import process to anoher hardrive. All of a sudden when I start to import them I get an error message and hoster shuts down. But if I import them into the c drive it works fine (which I dont want them on the c drive) this has just started happening and I still have files to import? The hard drive that I have imported them to works fine when playing a song through hoster. Im freaking confused and lsing hair.

windows xp and no I didnt change the drive letter. Another thing is when Im trying to copy the files to another hardrive for back up it gets to a point where it will say. "annot copy PT401-12: The directory or file cannot be created"?

are you sure windows didnt change the drive letter ??

also you cant move files when they are opened.

theses are external hardrives and no the drive letters have not been changed. These files are not open. I am using the current version of hoster. Even when I try to copy the whole folder it will ive me the same message...as for why hoster shuts down when tring to import on the external drive Im still confused.

I think you are mixing two problems in this. First is importing them into Hoster and second is copying the KMA files to another drive for back-up. Am I right?
If this isn't the case you are going to need to explain step by step exactly what you are trying to do.
These external drives are they formated in file system NTFS or FAT? Right click on the drive, go to properties and toward the top of the page it will say "File System:" then what type it is.
If they are FAT then your problem may be the limitation of how many files\folders can be created under one folder (directory is the same thing).
Even NTFS has a limitation on how long the file path name can be, so if you are trying to put these files too deep into a folder then Windows can't do it.
In Hoster when you are importing these files, what error message do you get? Is it always stopping at the exact same MP3+G or is it random?
You say they import ok if you copy them to the C:\ drive. If you copied (not Move) batches of them to C:\, imported them (creating KMA file on external), then delete that batch from C:\ (since you still have them on another external you won't lose them) and repeat for the rest then you should be able to get around this problem.
