Windows 10: Suddenly stopped copying video to hard drive

I purchased a 6TB external hard drive, and began copying short videos onto it. All went well until suddenly, in the middle of copying a folder of videos, the videos stopped being copied correctly. The videos were apparently copied but, on looking in the properties no details of the videos could be seen.After this it was impossible to copy any videos, I shut down the laptop, disconnected the hard drive, and tried to start again. But no videos could be copied, this includes videos that were previously copied successfully.I can copy videos successfully onto other hard drives 1 & 2 TB with t

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

 

Overclock your hard drive!!!

Heres a much easier hack that I realized quite a few years ago that really does work!

REQUIREMENTS:

• Hard drive with molex power connection.
• PSU with more than 1 strand that has molex plugs on it.
• Wire strippers, soldering iron if you're fancy, electrical tape if you're not.

STEPS:

• Take the strand of connectors from your PSU, and decide which one will be the donator for this overclocking adventure.
• Cut the yellow and orange cables, then twist them together.
• Find the power connector you've chosen as the overclocking connector, and release the orange cable from the connector. Now use your preferred method to bind them together, then place it back together.
• Plug in a drive and feel the speed!

Congratulations! You've just overclocked your hard drive!
