have you ran an anti spy and virus scanner to ensure that isn't the problem? Spybot searh and destroy is a good one for spyware. Glary utilities is an excellent freeware that will clean your registry. AVG or AVAST are good free antivirus programs.

if all this fails, a XP repair installation should do the trick. I had a similar problem with not being able to send files to email from a folder and a repair install was the only way to get it fixed.

PS. Are you able to copy from one folder to another on the same drive? Maybe there is a problem with your permissions on one of the drives

thanks for the reply.I have already scanned the whole sys with AVG.

Also scan for spyware and clean the registry with Glary. http://www.glaryutilities.com/

It might save you alot of time in doing a repair install
