Windows 7 and moving files across the network
Im running a 32 bit version of windows 7 professional (this problem also happens with a physical 64bit version of windows 7. Dell optiplex 740m). It is running on VMware ESXI 4.1. The problem I am experiencing is when I use a command line to move files from one network drive to another network drive. The network servers are running Netware 6.5 sp8. for example H:\ - This is netware server A T:\ - this is netware server B This current user has administrator rights, and has full control of the folders located on both netware servers. I have a file "example.txt" located on H:\test and I try and move it to T:\test_restore I am not able to move this file. The command being used is move h:\test\example.txt T:\test_restore. The error message that I am getting is "The volume does not contain a recognized file system. Please make sure that all required file system drivers are loaded and that the volume is not corrupted. 0 file(s) moved." I've tried looking up this error message and I haven't found anything that is pertinant to my situation. I can run the copy command from H:\Test to T:\test_restore and the file example.txt is copied to the new network location. From the local system I can use the move command to move files from the C:\ to H:\test or T:\test_restore. If I use the GUI I can cut and paste files between the 2 netware servers. Because we have numerous automated processes that use the move command that will move files around our network I need to find a viable command line solution. I've tried disabling the remote differential Compression and this did not help the situation (I have re-enabled it). How can I get the move command to work in windows 7? Thank you for your help.

Hi, Please follow the article in the link below to use “Robocopy” command for a test and let me know the result. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc733145(WS.10).aspx Meanwhile, I assume the error message indicates that the Copy command do not support to delete the files in the file system of Netware.Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.

Thank you for your help. I used the Robocopy command with the /mov option and I was able to transfer files to and from the novell network drives on a windows 7 32 bit system. I'm not sure how much testing would need to be done to change all of the code that uses the move command to use the Robocopy command. Any ideas on how I can keep the move command in these programs? Or does it look like the code will have to change?
