Copy dialogue freezes at 0 seconds forever and I end up with a corrupt file for files bigger than 1GB on a Dell Inspiron N4050 laptop (i3 with 4GB of RAM). The copying goes too fast at the beginning than it hangs at the very end like forever.
FYI:
when copying from one directory or partition to another or when copying files smaller than 1GB, the copying goes normally.
The issue persists even if I format or change the USB drive.
What's going on and how can I fix it?
cp
command? Try copying it withcp -v path/to/your/file /destination/directory/
. The -v switch gives additional information. If an error or warning is shown, add it to your question.
