“Today morning when I switched on my Windows computer, it displayed an error message that ‘E’ drive is running out of space. Since my ‘D’ drive had more space, I thought of moving few files from E drive to D drive. However, at the time of file transmission, my computer froze and I ended every task forcefully by utilizing “End Task” function. Though file transfer process got stopped, nothing has happened to my files. Half of them got transferred, whereas remaining half of them are still in ‘E’ drive. But when I tried to play DIVX files that had been transferred to ‘D’ drive, I was presented with an error message that ‘divx, this video is an unsupported format’. Kindly someone help me to resolve this error”
