Hello,

I am running Vista Home Premium. I have been trying to back up some photos which are on the Hard Drive of my Vista machine onto an external hard drive. I am doing this via either drag and drop or copy and paste from the Vista machine to the Ext HD. Each time I do this I get the following error code: "Are you sure you want to copy this folder without it's properties?" The folder "xxx" has properties that cannot be copied to the new location." If I hit "ok" everything appears to copy to the new folder on the Ext HD. Can anyone explain this message to me? Is this message telling me that I am not actually making a backup copy of my photos or something? THanks for any help!
