    Does putting a video file into a folder keep it from being corrupted when moving to a USB?


    I have had trouble with my video files being corrupted when I move/copy them to a USB. Does putting a movie file into a folder help in any way to keep it from being corrupted in the transfer?

    Corrupted file RAR

    If the archive has been created using WinRAR, why don't you try WinRAR itself? It has a built-in repair feature for repairing corrupted archive (ZIP as well as RAR). Follow the steps given below:
    • Open WinRAR application in your system.
    • Now click on File tab > Open or simply press Ctrl+O.
    • A small window "Find Archive" will pop up. Locate the corrupt RAR archive from your system directory and select it.
    • Now click Open button.
    • Click Tools tab > Repair archive or simply press Alt+R.
    • Again a small window "Repairing File name.rar" will pop up.
    • Now click Browse to select a location to save the repaired archive.
    • Check the box "Treat the corrupt archive as RAR" and click OK.
    • WinRAR will start repairing of corrupt RAR archive. Once it gets completed click Close.
    I hope the above steps will help you repair the corrupted RAR archive.

    Thanks.

    USB Drive Continually Corrupting Files

    Hi guys. Thanks for the response and sorry for the late reply, I just finished work.

    I've just re-examined it an noticed it's only happening with video files, but it is any video file from 1mb all the way up to 1gb, my other files haven't been affected like i first thought.

    I'm sure it's an original drive and I've scanned it with Kaspersky. I'm going to try and see if it does it in another computer later, but it's really strange.

    When I initially copy the file to the USB, it will be fine and play fine, but it will corrupt over time and become more and more corrupt as time goes on. I've had multiple USBs that have failed or stopped working in someway, but I've never encountered this issue before.

    Does putting a video file into a folder keep it from being corrupted when moving to a USB?

    Moving files into folders puts them under Recent folders.


    I have the option "Show recently opened items in Jump Lists on Start or the taskbar" off.
    However since the last update whenever I either copy or move a file into any folder windows puts that folder under the Recent group in the taskbar. Is there any way to fix this?
