"Parameters incorrect" - transferring music with iPod

[web-head5]

I recently bought a sexy new laptop and I need to transfer all of my music (about 2200 songs) from my family's PC to said laptop. I have an iPod and iTunes. I followed Apple's tutorial on how to consolidate my library and transfer it to a new computer through enabling disk use for the iPod, but I've run into some very frustrating problems.

When I go to copy the iTunes folder to my iPod to in turn copy that folder to my new "My Music" folder on the laptop, the difficulties begin. Randomly, the download will stop with the fateful Windows Failure "dunk" sound and say Cannot copy -x song- : parameters are incorrect. As an intermediate computer user, I have no idea what this means. I know iTunes is able to reconfigure the formats of music files to adjust the sound quality, but other than this... I know nothing about "parameters". Also, the songs are completey random; there are no consistencies in the type of songs that cause errors. It definitely would not copy my movies (bought legally from iTunes).

Does anyone know what the problem is? I suppose I could just copy it all onto CD-Rs, but that just seems like such a hassle considering my PC is in less-than-awesome shape. Help! Thank you.

I wish I knew more about the itunes moving of data, I have it, and I find its a freaking pain. I hate how they make you do some steps...

Do some looking around or asking over at the Apple Support Forums. I haven't played much with iTunes on the Windows side, so I don't really have an answer for you.
