If the drive is full:

To check this go to My Computer and click on the relevant drive, you will be able to see on the left hand side how much spare space there is. In most cases anything below 1GB could result in this message. To resolve this you will need to:

Backup then delete files from the drive you still need to keep for records.

Move files to another drive

 

If the drive is write protected:
