Copying between hard drives... - Alex. - 03-05-2010
Okay... This is a bit odd...
My new Windows 7 PC came today, so I took the hard drive out of my old one and started copying the files over to the new drive...
And I noticed this.
5 or less seconds to go... 0 bytes to go... Over two-hundred THOUSAND files to go still? O_o
Am I doing something wrong...?:unsure:

Generally, I've only had that problem when using a USB drive that disconnected, or whilst copying from a disk with bad sectors on the HDD.
Have you run a utility such as SeaTools to determine the drive health? The DOS version is the one to use.
