    Is it possible to "Copy & Replace"


    Hello, I thought this is how copy/paste used to work but it has not for a while. I have 2 HDDs with some of the same files on each. I want to copy the files from 1 HDD to the other and if the same file name is found, replace it with the one being copied. This is very desirable when working with large files/folders or when the HDDs would not have enough capacity to copy/paste all the files from one to the other as well as when updating a group of files with newer versions.


    Any chance "Copy/Replace" exists & I just am just not able to find the command? Also, can I do it in Win10 without using a command prompt? I normally use R click to copy/paste so if Replace is only available in a cmd prompt I'll need some pointers on the command structure.


    Hope this makes sense....

    :)

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

  3. Gigabyte to implement replacement or refund program for Intel 6 series motherboards

    Problem is there just aren't any backup boards as all chipsets are B2 stepping, and B3 stepping won't be available until maybe late April, so there's no point in getting defective replacement boards *Frown Is it possible to "Copy & Replace" :( your last suggestion sounds reasonable enough to me though *Smile Is it possible to "Copy & Replace" :)

    Is it possible to "Copy & Replace"

    Replacing old hard drive, need way to copy Windows installation across

    Hey Guys,
    What would be the best way of copying/imaging the entire contents of an old system drive over to a replacement hard disk for the same machine? I need to copy the Windows installations and all other data to the new drive, and then format the old drive to use as a backup.

    Any suggestions? *Smile Is it possible to "Copy & Replace" :)
