After backing up 100's of my movies I received an error message while backing up Animal House:

It seems that the buffer kept emptying out. I freed up extra room on my drive and defragged it but the same problem exists...any ideas?
If all okay the might want to do a chkdsk/scan disc to check & fix the hard drive for any bad sectors. Here's a guide for that too - you can use the graphical version.
