Hi there,

We are using Intune, but users can't copy data from drive C:\ to drive D:\, i have checked the security baseline for windows and defender, nothing fixes the issue for me

could you please guide me how to unlock this?

Error: write block on this drive

Answer 1

@Barzan M Hassan , Based on my research, I find there's some policies in Setting Catalog as below may cause our issue.

• Restrict Users to Store Data in Local Drive
• Prevent access to drives from My Computer

You can check if we have such policies configured in our environment. If there's any update, feel free to let us know.

Answer 2

Copy files from C drive to D drive via Drag and Drop
Step 1. Double-click Computer or This PC to open Windows File Explorer.
Step 2. Navigate to the folders or files you want to move, right-click them and select Copy or Cut from the given options.
Step 3. Finally, find the D drive or other drives you want to store the files to, right-click the blank space, and select Paste.

Alternatively, you can press Ctrl + C (Copy) or Ctrl + X (Cut) after pitching these files into the source drive. In the destination drive, press Ctrl + V to paste these files.

Peter
