APPLIES TO

- Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server 3.1
This article was previously published under Q102819
SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Windows NT and Windows NT Advanced Server, when you move a file from one logical drive to another, if that file already exists on the other drive, you will receive the following error message
where <DRIVE> is the name of the drive from which you are moving the file and <FILENAME.EXT> is the filename and filename extension of your file.
WORKAROUND
To move a file from one logical drive to another when the file already exists on the other drive, type the following at the command prompt
move [source] [target]
where [source] specifies the path and name of the file or files to move, and [target] specifies the path and name to move the files to.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.1 and Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
MORE INFORMATION
Steps to Reproduce Problem
- Start File Manager.
- Make sure the same file exists on two logical drives, (for example, drives C and D).
- Select the file on drive C and press and hold down the SHIFT key.
- Drag the file to drive D.
You will receive a dialog box prompting you to confirm that you want to move and replace the file. When you choose the Yes button, you receive the error message described above.
