Trouble transferring files

markprior22 · 07-31-2002, 08:59 AM

I got a new laptop yesterday and tried to copy my .lg files to a CD to transfer to the new computer. Between my son and I we probably have 7 or so leagues going. When I tried to install .lg files on new computer, I received message "cannot copy coaches". I looked and the coaches.dat file on my original hard drive is an archive file. For some reason, some of the coaches.dat files transfer to the CD with a read-only attribute. Once they are on the Cd, it won't let me change attribute (the file is probably not even actually on the cd). Out of the above mentioned 7 leagues, 2 transferred just fine. I can't figure out why some of these files are getting attributes changed without any input from me. There may be other files doing this too but once it hits the "coaches" snag, I can't proceed. I don't have time right now to check each file on the CD to see if the attributes have changed.

Any ideas

email the coaches.dat file to yourself, use the new computer to get the files. Transfer the rest as you are able to.

Once you get the league to your laptop you will need to change all the files from "read-only" to "archive".
