    Copy folders from 1 disk to another


    What the heck is wrong with Win 10? At the present time I'm running Win 10 Ver.1909, OS build 18363.692 and can't even copy folders from one disk to another. The folders are on a Samsung 1tb SSD and copying to a WD 3TB disk. When I select a folder, for example "MP3's" it will copy so far then stop and hang. When it comes to mp4's it does the same thing. When I try to cancel the job, it says that it's cancelling but it sits there and does nothing. The only way I can get the computer to respond is to reboot. No, I can't clone or image the disk because the 3tb has a larger recovery space than the 1tb. So the question is what the heck do I do? I want it as a back up, that's all.

    :)

    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

  4. Copy folders from 1 disk to another

    Disk management console view is not up-to-date

    i dont know how to fix your disk management, but i can fix your partition problems...




    open up Command Prompt with admin rights. (Right click, run as admin)


    enter in
    DISKPART
    list disk

    then find the Disk number for your Raid array... lets call it number 7 ( you can tell what disk is what by the total size)
    type in

    Select Disk 7
    List Partition (will give you a list of all the partitions..)
    Select Partition 1 (im assuming you only have 1 partition on Disk 7) repeat this step if you have more partitions.
    ASSIGN


    that should get the array up and running ready to use.


    EDITED.

    any problems, post back ^^


    Still EDITING *Stick Out Tongue Copy folders from 1 disk to another :p

    side question, have you tried restarting the PC?
