When copying from USB - stops: A device which does not exist was specified.

  • 1.  When copying from USB - stops: A device which does not exist was specified.

    Posted 26 days ago

    When copying from USB to HDD each time I get "A device which does not exist was specified"-error.
    Retry-Skip-Abort
    I use 'Retry' and for maybe some 5-10 seconds copying continues and halts again.
    The external drive is available/visible and can be accessed.

    External drive: Samsung SSD TS 1TB USB 3.1

    VM: Windows 10 x64
    File Explorer: Directory Opus

    There is no problemen copying back and forth USB <> Host (same folder, also using Opus)

    Now, the weird thing: when I use Windows Explorer, above copying goes fine, i.e. VM from USB to HDD (Downloads)
    Reinstalling VMware Tools doesn't make any difference.

    Anyone any ideas?

    Thanks!
