    i had a problem with my external hard drive in that it wasnt taking in files above 4GB.I transferred all the data on it to my brothers diskstation external hd to temporarilarly store them while I reformatted my hard drive to ntfs inorder to solve this problem.After I reformatted the hd i then tried to transfer all my stuff back into my hd from the diskstation but alot of the files have the:"cannot read files from source file or disk" error message coming up all of the time and wont copy back.How can I solve this problem?Does reformatting my hard drive cause the problem or something else

    Are the files on the diskstation readable when it is connected to a different computer.

    It's after the horse has bolted but for the benefit of other readers when making a copy always make sure that all the files you transfer are readable before erasing them from the source drive.
