Finder: "file could not be written and was skipped" Message



When copying a file from one disk to another, I got the message:

This file could not be written and was skipped

The original file seems to open and work fine.

Here are two possible reasons for this:

This error indicates that your destination volume has a problem with it.
If it is a floppy, reformat it. If it is a hard disk, run a good disk
utility against it to discover the problem. Then take appropriate action.

The problem could also lie within the file or application. Examples such as a
damaged or copy-protected file or application may also cause this message to
occur. Make sure you are using a clean copy. You may want recopy from the
original source to make the file is undamaged.
