So finally today I got my new Seagate Barracuda 320 GB hard drive, put it into a USB 2.0 enclosure and started copying files (I mean thousands of files) onto it. After a while I get the following error "Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service." I am running Windows XP Pro, SP2.
Great.... just what I need...
Bad drive?
USB enclosure bad?
So I did some searching, increased my page file size, turned off any background programs, reboot, reboot .. no avail.
I finally found this article by Microsoft "Backup program is unsuccessful when you back up a large system volume" ... I applied the first registry change (PoolUsageMaximum) with a setting of 60 and that did the trick!
I mean how on earth are you supposed to know that there is some system internal kernel memory limit of 160 MB? Well well ... seems to be working fine now.
