Knowing what it is to have to re-download all those large files again, I'm trying to have you avoid that, if possible. I've had to do the same on occasion, and more than a year later, I still haven't been able to get some of my stuff back that I lost in a similar fashion.

So I hope this works for you, Brayway, because I'm fresh out of ideas of how to solve this issue for you.

lol yea i hope it works aswell it is 20% through stage 5/5 and is using 1.3GB ram
thanks for your help so far n e wayz :)

For the RCs and Linux iso images those will go a lot faster then relocating the other ones you stocked up on. I still suspect you are having a Windows problem since this is happening to all not just one or two of them. Have you tried copying one of more of them onto the main drive and then burning them to disk from there?

yea i have tried those images i posted earlier of me trying to burn them where from my desktop. and i went through them earlier and out of the 19 iso images i tested 9 where corrupted and those 9 are the ones that i dont want corrupted lolz

That's a hard break! I wemt through enough of that when going to reuse files burned to disk for backup and later found(on a new build, new drives even) files were toast! Toss a few cd-rs with some old goodies away!

Those were the oldies for like the 9x family to try out on DOSBox or simply to see if the 32bit 7 with the compatibility mode set would see them go on. Plus drivers for older cards backed up in case another old case needed to be refurbed! LOST!

At least the RCs are available until mid August and Linux distros usually see a collection of the latest releases last awhile while some things....

hmm...well i still got 7RC ISO that is one of those that didn't die, linux idont really care for if i lost it or not cause they aer un-metered downloads form my isp. some of the things that have died are isos of games that i have lost the disc for and customized winodws ISO's which i dont really want to remake.......

it has know finished the chkdsk and this is what it came up with

And those are the "unreplacables" where the all too often heard "frequent backups" is the phrase you never want to forget! I've been there a few times! even with cds you could no longer read?!

Fortunately I simply decided to buy a second and third drive as well as a few data dvds burned for safe keeping some unreplacables. The two 1tb drives set aside for storage won't see any OS there until the pair of 2tb drives are in probably the next build.

The storage drives still hold images I made with the 7 backup tool and the Macrium Reflect backup program. I guess "spreading the wealth" of files between multiple drives and removable media can spare you from the worst!

The thing to remember about the setup here however is that knowing the testing and 7 RCs were temp from the start I had to make up a disaster recovery plan. Did I need the second 1tb drive? No! But...??? You never know like you found out there unfortunately too late. It stinks!

hmm.... i was guna mak backups but i had nowhere to store them.....
