  1. Copied Files Are Hidden After Removing The Drive They Were Copied From


    Hello,I am trying to move some important files from one ssd old OS drive to another ssd new OS drive, I did this by moving all the important files into one folder and copying the folder into a third drive that won't be removed to serve as a middle man. The copied folder appears when the old drive is plugged in but disappears once I replace the old drive with the new one. I know the files are still there because once I switch back to my old drive the copied folder reappears again and WizTree shows the copied folder even with the new drive plugged in, how do I access the folder?

    :)

    Java.nio.file - Copying files

    You can't copy a folder, thats why it generates an exception (you are trying to copy a folder using a copy file function).
    You probably need to list all the files inside that folder and copy one by one

    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.
