In Windows 2000 Professional, I have a file folder on the desktop.  I
saved files within the folder on the desktop, mostly websites in
Internet Explorer 6.0.  Trying to move the file from the C-Disk Drive
to the D-Drive (or the other two drives--on one hard disk) results in
a "File System Error (1148)" message, and the file will not move.  I
ran the "scandisk" and defragged and it found no errors (that it
reported).  I can't move any of the files within the folder on the
desktop onto any of the other drives.  What is the solution?
Answer  
There is no answer at this time.

PANEL---Go To Start/Settings/Control Panel...Click on/Open The
"Internet Options Folder"-Mid Page Is "Temporary Internet Files"
...Click/Settings/"Tab"... Inside there youll find :the same files you

It is possible you are out of disk space on the particular drive that
has your desktop

if you are using win2k, then the file system on the c: drive has to be
ntfs. If you upgraded from a different OS, such as Win98 or before,
the d: drive may be FAT. This means that you cannot copy the file
accross without changing the D: drive to ntfs filesystem as well.

this provided the fix for me with my 1148 error:

http://www.mcse.ms/archive49-2003-11-67912.html

it appears explorer cant handle path names longer than 256 chars.  i
used the hack at the link above which suggests using a drive mapping
to some subdir of the problematic file system to trick windows into
using a shorter path.

ie:  instead of getting errors with  \\one\two\....\256chars
do:  map X: -> \\one\two\???\32chars

now you can operate on X: without getting 1148 errors gotten with \\one\two\...
