Copying a file on Windows 8 gives "not enough memory" even with plenty of memory and disk space

Solution 1:

I downloaded Teracopy and tried using that to copy the file; it too failed but gave me a much better file error message: "Open Error: Access is denied"

I check the file Security Permissions (right click Properties --> Security) and indeed the current user did not have Read Access. I add the permissions and it copied fine.

I am guessing because the file was created from a Boot Disk perhaps it didn't know which user to assign the proper NTFS permissions to (although I think it could just leave it open to everyone?)

Also I think Windows 8.1 has a bug when it tries copying a file with wrong file permissions it falls through and displays the wrong error message.
