If he is trying to move a TON of files, I know that can be an issue. When I was leaving MStar and wanted to pass a bunch of emails to a CD...I'd hit chunks of them and would occasionally have problems. I shoulda just copied the whole PST file, but a lot of it was work related and I didn't want them thinking I wanted to run out the door with office related email for any suspicious reasons. I just wanted MY mail!
