While copying files from old pc to new one, I was getting this error quite a lot. Whatever the time being, the error said the same. I didn’t knew what exactly the problem is. After searching a lot and reading blogs I found people suggesting to use GS Richcopy 360. I also tried it and it worked for me very well. It helped me a lot, using this I can also automate my file transfer. Try it, hope this comment helps someone!
