When I copy files from my Compaq W2K server to another server the W2K server consistantly locks up and must be cold booted. Nothing appears in event viewer other than a note that the previous shutdown was unexpected. My backup program also causes this lock up. I checked for excessive CPU usage and interrupts during the copy process, but no clues there. Any one have any ideas?
Thanks

Try booting your server to safe mode with network support and see if the behavior still happens. If not, it might be your video drivers. Hope this helps!

Your Compaq Windows 2000 server could have the NTFS 5 file system while the server to which you're copying the files does not. Encrypting files will cause this kind of problem.

Setting file and/or folder permissions could also cause the problem.
See this link for these and other file security issues:
