    Can't Copy Large Folders From Drive To Drive In Windows 10


    I have multiple drives in my computer, and when I want to copy one large folder from one NTFS drive to another NTFS drive, it gets to the stage of preparing to copy. Then everything stops and disappears and nothing gets copied.


    Never had this problem before. This is what I'm running.


    Edition Windows 10 Pro

    Version 20H2

    Installed on ‎8/‎07/‎2020

    OS build 19042.423

    Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.31.0


    TIA

    :)

    how to copy files from the CD to the Computer drive

    Hi Hankriegler,

    I would suggest you to follow the steps below:


    • Press Windows key + X.

    • Click file explorer from the list.

    • Select the CD/DVD drive and hit Enter.

    • Select the files you want to copy from the CD/DVD, then select the drive where you want to paste or save.
    I hope the information is helpful.

    Thank you.

    Copying a whole drive

    On an XP machine I had success copying large amounts of files and folders to an external USB drive using Teracopy. Products - Code Sector On Windows 7 you may have to disable UAC like newtekie1 said.

    Can't Copy Large Folders From Drive To Drive In Windows 10

    Copying Hard Drives

    bart pe is worth getting.. its a freeware win pe pretty much a self contained xp operating system on a cd.. depending what apps are installed on it u can do pretty much everything completely independent of windows..

    u just install your second drive make sure your partitions are the same or as u want them and just copy the contents of one drive straight to the other.. remove the first drive and the machine will boot from the new one..

    u can put the old one back afterwards and change drive letters and such to make sense in windows if u want to..

    the c: documents and settings folder plus the windows folder and the loose files on C: are in essense "windows".. u can just copy these and the new drive will work..

    with win 98 it was only the windows folder and the loose files that needed to be copied.. with xp u need the other folder..
