Windows 10: USB Drive fails to keep transferring files, and reconnects repeatedly during big file transfers

I have a 256gb usb drive 3.0 from Microcenterk, and I have it plugged into my Samsung USB a to c adapter plugged into a USB c port on my laptop. During those random reconnecting times I get this error:0x800701b1I've searched and it might have to do with how much power my USB is getting from my laptop, which might be because of the adapter. When I transfer a bunch of files, around 10gb total, it gives these errors. it works for like a minute, then disconnects or something, and randomly reconnects, and when it does that reconnection it says it cant transfer the file because the destination doesn

Cable to transfer files

Anything more than $10 to buy a cable is too much.

 

Need Help Files Transfer

I have a computer running Windows XP Home Edition. That computer has two internal HDDs:

The 1st HDD is C:\ that running Windows. And it has 20GB total of capacity.
The 2nd HDD is D:\ that is empty. And it has 90GB total of capacity.

The C:\ drive is almost run out of space (full). Is there a way I can transfer everything in the C:\ drive to the D:\ drive and begin to use the D:\ drive from there on as primary drive?
Can the Windows Files Transfer feature in XP transfer everything I have in C:\ to D:\? If it cannot, then which way can I use to perform the above step?

Thank you.
