What is the D drive? A hard drive partition? CD drive?

Its my hard drive. My computer has 2 hard drives the C drive is 15
gigs and the D drive is 80 gigs. Thanks for any help im not to
computer savy

How much free space is on drive D? When did this problem start? Could you ever save or copy files to that drive/partition? If you could what changed between the time things worked and when they didn't.

The error messages you quote mention "aol". Does this happen with any files/folders or are you moving/copying/deleting some aol related files?

It could be an issue of ownership and permissions. From Start | Help and Support search on ownership and then on permissions for info on this or see these articles:
