    improve copying large batches of files


    When copying large batches of files, say 18,000 files, Windows stops copying after 5 files and has a problem with one file. It waits for user input to skip the file before it goes on. So you can't leave the batch copy running unattended. It would make more sense to copy all the good files and then list the problems at the end.

    I can see where you are coming from but I think you need to look into a little built in feature called robocopy

    Another way to get information on Robocopy would be.
    Start Orb and select Help and Support. Type in Robocopy. Lots of information.

Rebuilt my whole system due to an unusual BSOD issue. Now I'm getting a new one. When I copy games from a disc or large file from one HDD to another HDD it'll BSOD. I have no idea what's going on. Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. Thanks in advanced, Richard

I am having some problems copying large files to my computer from an external hard drive. The copying process starts but then seems to freeze after a couple of minutes. Is this happening to anyone else and is there anything I can do?
