I understand that you're encountering a "Destination folder access denied" error when trying to copy files to an external hard drive. I'd be happy to help!

To better understand the issue, could you please provide the following details?

1. What is the model of your HP laptop? You can find this by pressing Win + R, typing msinfo32, and pressing Enter.
2. Are you using a personal laptop or a work/organization-managed device? Some company policies may restrict file transfers.
3. What is the file system format of your external hard drive (NTFS, exFAT, FAT32)? You can check this by right-clicking on the drive in File Explorer > Properties.

Let me know so we can find the best solution for you! 😊
