Can't copy files from one hard drive to another in windows 7
Hi all and Happy New Year. :)
I just bought a new hard drive (Toshiba 2TB) and I want to transfer all the files from my 2 old Toshiba's 1TB each to the new 2TB one. What is the best way? I have tried to copy the files one by one but is really frustrating, i mean i don't mind wait them to copy because I work meanwhile etc.. but the thing is that some of them even won't START copying. I go to one of the disks hit COPY (as usual) to the folder then go to the appropriate folder and then hit PASTE, and then…nothing…nada…zitch. No copying, no errors, or some sort of message…nothing, just wont copy. And the strange thing is that is only from some folders, for others it copies just normal.
For some folders though says name is too long and I have to go and rename each file is just huge pain in the %#S.
Anyone knows how to fix that. I would be much appreciated I have very valuable data I worked very hard for over 10 years.
Thank you in advance
