Windows 10: copying 216,452 files , 17453 folders to sd card, doesn't match Laptop

Hi,

For several yrs I've been using Teracopy on W7 to copy/move lg amounts of files as laptop backup to a 250gb SD card with no problems. By no problems I mean when I finished & using "properties" the # of files matched on the SD & Laptop.

In W10 I did not use Teracopy just the W10 copy process and I repeatedly got some strange results:

Files on Laptop: 159 GB, 238,738 files, 19,862 folders.
Files copied to SD card: 141 GB, 216-452 files, 17,453 folders.
Where did I go wrong?

Regards,

Cannot copy music files to SD card

Dear Arnie,

Thanks for your suggestions and see below...

Put card into surface and run scan; all ok

Files will not copy to music folder (either mp3 or jpeg or excel) I tried all sorts of files ad none would work

I did copy a music file to "videos" on the card and it copied perfectly (since deleted it)

It seems the "MUSIC" folder on the card is locked to copying when the card is in the phone because I CAN copy music files to it when it is in the surface pro.

Music is default to save to SD card

I cannot see to add music in groove as I already have over 7500 songs on my 200GB card.

Many thanks,

A.

 

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

Hi,

To help you in transferring the files from your PC to your SD card, follow the steps below:

• Connect the micro SD card reader to your computer.
• Plug the micro SD card into the card reader.
• Open the folder that contains files you want to transfer to the SD card.

• Press "Ctrl + C" to copy the files.
