Copy the same file from another computer and put it to this one, should sort out the problem. Remeber it should be from a computer with the same Operating system

It would say the disk was not formatted.

Backup? You mean backing up files on the laptop? I'm confused.

chances are you are trying to "burn" a copyright protected file....or something is corrupted....check writer hardware and cables, copy software

Not necessarily. Disable sharing your drives, and turn on the firewall if you're using Windows XP

I would go to C drive in control panel right click on C drive go to properties then tools and do a good defrag and disk check - If disk check finds and fixes just a few bad files all is well. If it finds a bunch - Start saving you pennies and backing up data!!! You can also do the above in safe mode by hitting F8 while windows is booting. This is the more effective way but it also has a little more risk of changing a few files.

you can use a diskspacer that doubles the capacity of your flash drive (it compresses existing files and increases logical capacity) but reduces access speed drastically. i wouldn't recommend it since flash drives are meant for fast file transfers via USB.

Give it a thorough 'disc check' and 'defragmentation'.  If you do not know how, modify your question.

Try Beamfile, send files up to 5GB in size for free, http://www.beamfile.com/  Note that beamfile must be installed on both computers, the one you send from and the one you are sending to.

only with a special cabel.  I would suggest getting a jump drive (usb memory stick) and transfering the files that way.  If the HDD has crashed then you have a very expensive option.
