A Windows Explorer copy operation check after copying?

A Windows Explorer copy operation check after copying?  I know that this should be an easy question to answer and I should already know the answer, but I can't find any info that confirms or not copy files and folders with Windows Explorer checks the copy after copying.

I want to copy the contents of my old memory stick in my new and I want to make sure that all files and folders have made the transfer before their deletion on the old stick.

I guess I could use the command line COPY or XCOPY between devices with the /V to check the switch.  I don't see that ROBOCOPY has a switch to check.

Suggestions?

There is no real way to verify with certainty that copies has been made correctly and that the copied files are all accessible, guaranteed the same as original, uncorrupted and otherwise to work.  Here is information on the switch/v:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/126457/en-us.  The BACK FC command (from the command prompt) is a better way to comparehttp://www.easydos.com/fc.html (or even the model commandhttp://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/command_line/command_line_comp.htm which is not as good as the FC command but not yet a comparison, but is not yet perfect (and it makes the whole process much longer and requires much more effort).  It is very unlikely that all copied very well - but there is no real control procedures which will ENSURE everything worked properly and that all the files can be opened and worked with.  The only way to be absolutely sure is actually check each file individually (and again, the new stick could develop the corruption of its own and damage one or more of the files even after you have confirmed it - it doesn't happen often, but it happens).  It's the nature of computers and storage devices.  If you are concerned, and then also copy the old stick on your computer in a special folder (I do with mine, just in case and I also back up this folder so it is even more protected).  Copies of chances of two (or three) is damaged or having problems are even more remote, and you have a backup (or two) in case something happens on the key (as you drop down a sewer or it gets crushed by a car or is exposed to a strong magnetic field that he wipes clean you'll just lose it or any number of other possible problems).

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

    Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and

  • Windows Explorer crashes on Asus after uninstalling the game files.

    A couple of days, I uninstalled the games that came with my Asus U36S laptop and after that my Windows Explorer began to crash and restart - and recovery system does not work for some reason any.

    At first I thought it was a coincidence, so I tried to understand what could be the problem. I checked the third-party applications, virus, malware, tried clean restarts, restart in safe mode and so on and so forth. But the problem persists.

    After all the discussions Forum I could find on the situation through, I finally noticed that someone else had the same problem and solved it in re - install game files (OT here, final note: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-system/windows-7-home-premium-corrupted-file-pintlgbimd/f39e62df-aaf0-4bfd-adbd-cd8e874a5297?page=2).

    Now, I'd love to do that too - but I have no idea how to do to get your hands on these game files. I don't have an installation CD (my laptop did not come with a CD-rom) and I don't even remember the names of the games that I uninstalled.

    Can someone help me with this? I would be eternally grateful!

    PS: I tried to call Asus about this, but they were less than helpful...

    A couple of things by looking at the Event Viewer logs.

    The ASUSWSShellExt64.dll was originally explore crash like this recently connected recurrent error:

    In addition, Chrome is crashing because of the iDeviceEx.dll like this recently connected recurrent error:

    Name of the failing application: chrome.exe, version: 32.0.1700.107, time stamp: 0x52ed6c62
    Name of the failed module: iDeviceEx.dll_unloaded, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x4cde567f

    The information that you have posted on the grip, the location of the iDeviceEx.dll is as follows:

    LoadedModule [148] =C:\Program Files (x 86) \iMacsoft\iPod to PC Transfer\iDeviceEx.dll

    Can you try to go to the \iMacsoft\iPod C:\Program Files (x 86) to PC file transfer and right-click the iDeviceEx.dll and the iDeviceEx.dll and rename it to iDeviceEx.old

    Log off and reconnect again, and then restart Chrome and see if the same problem of hanging occurs.

  • Windows Explorer: Files & grayed out after Trojan Virus deleted folders

    Lucky me some site I went to via an alert Google downloaded a virus and I had to restore my Dell PC to factory settings. In any case, I keep all my data on 2 external hard drives, so I didn't lose data on the C:\ drive.

    So, everything is 'back to normal' but one of my external hard drives, a Maxtor 3200, exploring with Windows Explorer showed no top file until I selected in Windows Explorer, the option 'To see the hidden files' - now I can see and even access to files and folders, but they are all grayed out when displayed in Windows Explorer. I reread the Maxtor and AVG shows as own. Any help is greatly appreciated!
    David

    When you choose to show hidden files, then any file or folder that is hidden will appear gray as you describe.  What you need to do is to display the files and folders.  You can do this by right-clicking the file or folder, select 'Properties' and uncheck 'hidden '.  Another method is to open a command window (start-> run-> "cmd") and use the "attrib" command to show files and folders.

  • Satellite M200 - Windows Explorer; alleged motherboard failure

    My Satellite M200 works on 32 bit; The OP is Vista Home Basic.

    For the last two months I had messages that windows Explorer has stopped working... windows explore restarts etc.
    After efforts to find a solution, I took my laptop to a local technician, to find a solution to the problem and to upgrade RAM. The problem continued, and he advised that the motherboard is faulty.

    The intention had been to reformat computer technology however, or I can get to the startup section; Windows itself continues to operate.
    RAM has been successfully extended to 2g. My computer tech had tried to upgrade to 4g even if the laptop is only 32-bit - to my knowledge capable of only 2g of RAM.
    He said he changed the BIOS according to the instructions of Toshiba to try installing 4 g; but only 2g works.

    I also tried to install Nero9, supposed to be compatible with Vista. On the first attempt, 4 hours later only 9% had installed; When subsequent attempts after 45 minutes, only 6%.
    This program has been installed successfully on computers running XP.
    I tried to send this message before, but he did not appear on the forum. My apologies if you are reading this (abridged version) version for yet another time.

    Hi mate

    The use of 4 GB depends on three factors; Operating system, Chipset and BIOS.
    All these parts must support the 4 GB if you want to use.

    The 32-bit Windows OS (no matter if it s Win XP or Vista) would recognize only 3.2 GB.
    So, even you would have a BIOS and capable chipset, the OS appear only 3.2 GB if it s 32-bit.

    I put t know what chipset using your laptop but if it s one of the Intel chipsets then all the details can be found on the Intel page. There you can check if your chipset would support 4 GB of RAM or not.

  • Copy and paste in Windows Explorer on Windows 7

    The same symptoms occur when it is in safe mode.

    Is it possible to download a new version of the file Explorer?

    You can get the latest version of the file Explorer by Windows Update. Since you said that the problem still occurs in safe mode, you can also try to do the following steps:

      5. Click OK.
      6. When you are prompted, click on restart.
      7. After the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.

    If the problem is resolved to check what is the cause of the problem, referring to the link below:

    https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/KB/929135.

    8. in addition, you will need to uninstall and reinstall the software problem on your computer.

    9. When you have finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:
    Click Start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER.
    10. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue. On the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.
