Windows 10: Have my files been correctly copied to my USB-pin?

Good day everyone



I am using Windows 10

Yesterday I copied som files to my USB-ind, they were in total a couple of megabyte.
I waited till every file had finished copying and the status-window closed by itself after reaching 100%.

A couple of minutes after I was done copying, I copied the files from the USB-pin to my desktop, so that I always can see later if the files was complete and not corrupted.



After that, I pressed “eject” in the right-click-function on my USB-pin.

When I did that, a warning-window appeared. I cannot recall exactly what it said, but it said something about, that data was still in use and ejecting or taking out USB-pin could result in loss of data. I had none of the copied files open. I was presented with some options (try again) – (continue) – (exit) .. and some more options. I have not been able to find a similar warning through a google search.

I thought the warning came because, there were some files still in the cache who were not copied after all or because there were still files in the right-click-cut-function-folder. Do you have other suggestions, why the warning appeared?

Now I am sitting here, not totally sure if I pressed (try again) or (continue), as in mentioned above.
But I pressed one of those two.

It then came up with the message that the hardware was safely ejected and safe to remove.

I then plugged in my USB-pin again, and checked if all the files were there, which they were. I then pressed eject, and it ejected in first try without problems.

My questions are:

1 ) What would have happened if I pressed (continue), instead of ( try again ) ?


2 ) How can I see if a file has turned corrupt?

3 ) How can I see if a file has been copied correct?

4 ) When I look in file properties, and look and the file size, can that information then be not correct?
Does it only show what the file-size is supposed to be? And not what it actually is?
If the file has not completed the copying, would it then show something different than if it was copied correct and complete?

Thanks a lot in advance for all your answers

Best regards

Emil

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

Issue was the above, so thanks temp02.

 

Copying files


As this relates to music file, do you use a music manager? If so check if it has any functions to do what you want.
If not the music manager I use would do what you need without a problem do a search for MediaMonkey I use the Gold Version but the free version should allow you to list all the music files on the USB and you can then select all files right click and select "copy to" and navigate to your required location and all files will be copied for you.

It's late here now but will see what I can put together in step by step with screen shots in the morning here.

mediamonky handles my 30000+ track collection so should be OK for however many files you need to move now and in the future, plus a lot more
