[SOLVED] I can't copy some MKV movies from my hard drive but I can play them ?

[protter]

i can't copy some movies from my hard drive but i can play them. At first I thought it was an error in the file, but HBBatchBeast shows no errors, and I can also play them from start to finish with vlc.

Also, the internal copy from the hdd to another folder on the same hdd does not work. Windows 10 then shows the explorer copy window for a long time. After a few minutes it aborts with an error.

what can be the reason for this?

Is that an external drive?

How was the file created?
Some recordings can have a flag set in it's properties that remove the capability of copying/moving the file.

thanks for all the helpful comments, i found out with them that the hard drive is just old and broken. it has many floating sectors. i bought a new one (also with errors) and will make a backup.
