I'm trying to copy a folder of drive C: for the thumb drive.

I get the message that "this disc already contains a folder named old Docs' when the file I am trying to copy is 'Documents '.  (Old Docs was the source of the Documents, but was renamed).

The USB key actually contains a folder named old Docs?  If so, rename it to 'Old Documents' and then try to redo the copy.  I don't know why the system isn't recognizing Documents such as the name of the folder (it should if it is her name now), but if it works, then you will have accomplished your purpose of copy on the folder and the new folder will be correctly named.

If it does not create a new folder on the drive of thumb (whatever name you want) and open the Documents on your system folder, and then click Select all on the Edit menu, then CTRL + C to copy everything and then go to the new folder that you created, click it and then press Ctrl + V to paste the content in the folder.  The content of your Documents folder will now be on the USB key you want.  I would like to try opening a couple in order to ensure that the copy worked properly and you can access data (just in case).

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

  • Assistant Migration - copy a folder after a migration to the new computer

    Hi-

    Today I created my new MacBook Air. I used Migration Assistant to transfer, wireless, my old MacBook Pro. I didn't have enough room so I disabled my music folder. After the migration is complete, I made little place on my new Air and represented the Migration Assistant. This time, I chose only the music folder. But the problem I have is that, at this stage, I am prompted to overwrite my account or duplicate... I don't want to do either... I want to just copy this folder on my existing account.

  • There is a strange folder in my Options for the Protection of the system!

    The tab System Protection in system properties, which gives you options of system restore, there is a system volume that looks like there's a number of clsid.

    It is outside the usual partitions. Is this normal? It does not appear in Windows Explorer.

    The machine is quarantined and not visit the internet more, so I can't give you the screenshot. But it's the name of the folder:

    \\?\Volume{d331125c-e4fe-11E1-B1EB-806e6f6e6963}\  Below these are the partitions C: and E:, I created the disk during a recent clean install. The new internal drive is a WD 320 GB Scorpio.

    Previously, Windows wouldn't start and gave me a hardware error. I took the bottom of the laptop, reinstall the memory, hard drive and DVD - RW, it blew out and everything close up. It works fine now.

    However, I also had a problem of malware with Rimecud! INF, DelfInject.gen! BE and DelfInject.gen! AF, which is the reason why I ask this question. This file would be a remnant of malware? I wiped the disk four times.

  • Which folder search to search for the file .exe for Camera Raw in 12 items?

    I expect with live Camera Bits Photo Mechanic to lead the Olympus ORF files will automatically open in items 12 Camera Raw. to do this, I need to direct Photo Mechanic to the raw camera .exe file in the elements. Where can I find the folder that contains this plugin? It is not in any folder labeled 'plugin '.

    So here's what happened and how it was resolved. Elements was initially do not recognize the file type when you try to make the transfer of Photo Mechanic, while the camera raw feature to open the file if I do drag and drop an individual elements file directly, bypassing the Photo Mechanic. So I thought once I found the executable file in the elements camera raw, all I had to do was link in the preferences of Photo Mechanic. That's when I posted this query. Somewhere along the way, once I had observed that the raw function of the device elements would open the file directly, I discovered by accident that at the close of the elements, Photo Mechanic could pass successfully the Olympus ORF file and once the elements has reopened, could directly receive the image of Photo Mechanic. While not particularly a problem for a satisfactory resolution of problems-wise, I'm happy. So thank you for your kind attention.

    Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you

    =============================
    I do not think that the 'Read only' attribute of your
    file is the problem... in fact, it is typical.
    All files on my XP Pro system have a
    Square marker (not checked) to playback
    Only the check box.

    If you want to experiment the following article...
    explains how to change the read-only attribute.

    Now for the photos... lets make an experience.

    Open your folder my pictures and create a new folder...
    File / new / folder... (more on this shortly)

    Insert your SD card into your Media Player. Do not forget
    to slightly press the card at the bottom of the slot.

    If the Autorun screen opens, close it.

    Reach... My computer or on the removable click
    Disk that corresponds to the location of your card is in.

    In the menu... Choose... Explore.

    You should be able to see the directory of the card.

    Open the folders and find pictures.

    Reach... Edition / select all... then... Edition / copy.

    Right click on the new folder that you created in my
    Images, text and the menu... Choose... Dough.

  • Try to copy a folder with subfolders, some don't copy, get the message that the folder names are too long under Windows 7

    Hi, when you try to copy a folder with lots of subfolders, some files don't copy.  I get a message that the folder names are too long, and the only option is to ignore these files.  Anyone know the maximum folder (and also) name length that will copy windows 7?

    Hello
     
     
    a. What are the data you're trying to move?
    b. what operating system (for example Windows files) files?
    c. What is the method that you use to copy data?
     
     
    Windows 7 supports filename up to 260 characters. I would ask you to decrease the characters in the file name and then try to copy the files.

    Let us, run disk checking hard disk utility and then check.
    Here's how:
    1. open the computer by clicking the Start button, click computer.
    2. click on the drive you want to check, and then click Properties.
    3. click on the Tools tab and then, under check for errors, click Find now. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    To automatically repair problems with files and folders that the scan detects, select automatically fix file system errors. Otherwise, the disk check will be a problem, but not to fix them.
    To perform a thorough check, select search and attempt to recover bad sectors. This analysis tries to find and repair physical errors on the disk itself, and it may take much longer to complete.
    To check for errors file and the physical errors, select both automatically fix errors in file system and search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.
    4. click on start.
     
     
    Depending on the size of your drive, it may take several minutes. For best results, do not use your computer for any other tasks while it checks errors.
     
    Important: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data can be lost.
     
    I hope this helps.
