Error 0x800701B1 while transferring files

[Gcyroplc]

Error 0x800701B1” appears when transferring files from my old hard drive to the new one. Please can someone help me! However, error 0x800701B1 keeps appearing which means that over half my files haven’t been transferred.
I'd be grateful for instructions on how to fix this.
Thank you in advance!

copying to external HDD? Does it have its own power supply`or are you using usb port? If so that could be issue, usb not continuously supplying sufficient power to the HDD

This is the PC forum, so I assume it's a PC/Windows issue. Can you explain how you are transferring the data from one disk to another @Gcyropic? Is it an external disk mounted in a caddy with its own power supply?

via USB port to external HDD.

external with own power supply ? Otherwise usb port has not enough power to stay alive.

You didn't answer @twol's question. External HDDs should have their own power supply. If it's a 2.5" disk it might be ok with a powered USB hub.
