After I copy the html from the index.html file it says about.html is Not Found

So after I copy the the html from index.html and paste the entire thing. I try to preview, which works fine until I click on the about tab in the browser. It displays,

Not Found

The requested URL /About.html was not found on this server.

On lines 17 - 21 of index.html:

<ul> <li><a href="index.html" class="selected">Portfolio</a></li>

   <li><a href="About.html">About</a> </li>

   <li><a href="Contact.html">Contact</a> </li>

</ul>

Since the page is called about.html not About.html the file server doesn't find it. Just change it to about and contact in the respective hrefs. :)

Do you mind showing what your code looks like?

If you don't have an about.html page, you will receive not found.
