I/O error and FW bus?

[Sofa King]

Hello all,
I was wondering if a -36 I/O error could be related to the FW bus?

I know that this error is typically indicative of a physical issue with the drive.

When copying from external drive "A" [FW 800]to external drive "B" [FW 800]
I get the error.

When copying from external drive "A" [FW 800]to external drive "C" [FW 400]
I get the error.

But, when I copy from external drive "A" to the G5 internal, the files copy without the -36 error.

When I try and copy the copy from the internal drive to either to "B" [FW 800] or to "C" [FW 400], I get the error again.

This is a DP 2GHZ G5,
OS 10.4.8
2 dual bay storcase FW 800 enclosures
2 Lacie 500 gb FW 400 drives

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

All the best,
Sean

I couldn't say of hand but the Apple support page could help. just type the error code into the search bar and you should get a hit.

Or if you have Apple Care or you still have th 90 days of phone support, you could call the support number.
