"The operation can’t be completed because the item “XXXXXXX” is in use."

Hi all,

I'm trying to copy some contents from an Secondary internal HD to a new external HD. I keep getting the message: "The operation can’t be completed because the item “XXXXXXX” is in use." I than have to Force Eject the external HD as it wont eject. Next time i try to copy again, a new filename is prompted with the same message.

I suspect that the RAM is holding those files cache'd. I've rebooted with the Secondary HD unplugged and then re-plugged it back in. No difference. I've tried the Memory Clean app, Still getting the same error (on different files).

What else could i try? What could this be?

I do have 2 different types of RAM working. But surely this cant be the culprit?! 1; 4GB Kingston 667mhz DDR2 (2x 2GB) 2; 4GB Kingston(i think) 1066mhz(i think) (2x 2GB)

RAM speed at: 667MHz

Thanks for any help!

CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 2.50GHz; MOBO: GIGABYTE GA-EP45-DS4 Rev 1.0 Bios vF10 RAM: 4GB Kingston 667mhz DDR2 (2x 2GB); HD: AHCI Samsung, WD, Seagate >2TB GPU: GeForce 8800GT 512mb; OPTICAL: TSSTcorp SATA DL SH-S203N
