Unable to move (whatsapp) folder from SD to internal storage

Hi,

Got my SP yesterday and updated it to latest andriod version (4.3) from Sony. I pulled the SD from my old phone and put it into the SP so I could copy the WhatsApp folder onto the internal storage so the WhatsApp would find it and I can see my old messages.

Only I can't move the folder from SD to internal storage. Not with th PC application that gets installed when you plug in the Phone via USB and not by using OI File manager. It's as if the internal storage denies acces to any outside movements.

When I create a folder on the internal storage with the file manager I can do so, just can't copy anything into it from the SD or computer.

Any help please?

try this way:first copy whatsapp file to desktop then copy folders content to whats app folder on phone storage...put your phone usb connect mode to MTP then acces your phone from my computer

THnx sprocks222

That did it. Didn't reboot is that necessary?

Astro had no problem moving the files from SD to the internal storage and at first start of Whatsapp the backup database was found and all was well Slightly_smiling_Face

Thnx again.
