How to fix win32 0x00000011 Error

 

The error code you provided, win32 0x00000011, translates to "ERROR_NOT_SAME_DEVICE." This error typically occurs when an operation attempts to move a file to a different disk drive. Here are some steps you can try to fix this error:

1. Identify the Cause:

• Try to recall the action that triggered the error. Were you trying to move a file, copy it, or perform another operation?
• Check the file path involved. Was the destination on a different physical drive (e.g., moving from C: drive to D: drive)?

2. Try a Different Destination:

• If possible, attempt to move or copy the file to a location on the same physical drive. This bypasses the issue of moving between disks.

3. Check File Permissions:

• Ensure you have the necessary permissions to modify the file and the destination folder. Right-click on both the file and the destination folder, go to "Properties" -> "Security" tab, and verify your access level.

4. Use System Tools:

• Windows Troubleshooter: Windows has built-in troubleshooters that can diagnose and fix common issues. Run the "Hardware and Devices" troubleshooter ([Windows Key] + R, type "msdt.exe -id DeviceDiagnostic", hit Enter).

5. Restart Your Computer:

• Sometimes a simple restart can resolve temporary glitches that might be causing the error.

6. Advanced Troubleshooting (if the above fail):

• Check Disk Errors: Run "chkdsk /f C:" (replace C: with the drive letter where the file resides) in Command Prompt (as administrator) to scan and fix disk errors.
• Consider Third-Party Tools: Specialized tools for data recovery or file management might offer alternative solutions for moving the file.
