In Windows 7 when you try to copy files to an external hard drive, getting the error "are you sure you want to copy this file without its properties?
I know there have been a few posts on this in the past, but I have a slightly different query.
If you right-click on one of the files in Windows Explorer, then select Properties, you will see the Details tab of the properties he wouldn't if the files have been copied to a drive not NTFS. They are written in an Alternate Data Stream (ADS), and the FAT format readers include ADS.
It depends on the file type of the importance of these properties. If you have spent a lot of time, adding titles and comments and authors and authors e-mail addresses to docprops your Word documents, for example, that the work would be lost.
If you can live with the loss of these properties, go ahead - standard properties will be re-writings in the file when you restore from backup. It's of course time and resources.
To avoid this problem, format your external drive to use the NTFS system.

First chech that the BIOS is configured to use the CD/DVD drive as frist boot device.
Then remove the old drive and only connect the new drive.
Start the PC and insert the CD that you created and boot from the CD. If there is a "Long full" test, which is that you need to perform. Also check the SMART data (look for bad sectors).

Hello
Today I was backing up my files on a new hard drive that I bought a week ago, and during the copy, I received the message following 'destination path too long ".
And the file name is actually short "crouch" here is a snap of the image:http://imgkeep.com/0ij23kby74dn.html
I don't know what to do!
Original title: destination path too long?
The key factor is not the name of the file itself, but the total length of the file name and the path of the folder.
The help files for the application that you are using could tell you how long the total combination of the file-file may be [some more older can be limited to 255 characters, but I was not able to discover the current constraints].

I move the file from my old PC which took place with Vista on a new computer running with Win 10 where I have Windows Live Mail is installed. When I try to copy the files from Windows Mail on Vista on a USB key I get the message "you are about to copy this file without its properties". After studying this issue on the forums, a proposed solution was to reformat the drive in NTFS format, I did. This does not solve the problem. Any suggestions? Would it be OK in this case to ignore the message and copy the file without its properties?
Well data files/user of vista should work. Yes a NTFS format is good, go to run, or cmd, type:
diskmgmt.msc in msc, R.click on the material, delete the partition, create one, format. Use the default settings,
Once thru, L.click the disk, go to actions, all, select 'enable '.

"Are you sure you want to copy this file without its properties?" what adaptation .jpg files to thumbdrive.
Hello
The USB drive is formatted in NTFS (New Technology File System) or FAT32 (File Allocation Table 32)?
Windows stores the file on NTFS metadata using a feature called Alternate Data Streams. In other words, metadata is stored in an another 'stream' (an object file with a different identity system) as the stream that contains the file data. Since FAT32 does not support ADS, given in these alternative streams cannot be copied and will be lost if you continue copying.
If you have all the data on the USB, then you can format the drive. If unsaved data then you must back up the data on the USB key on the hard disk of the computer, and then restore it after perform the format.
Try formatting the USB drive to NTFS and check if the problem persists. To do this, follow these steps.
a. Insert the key USB and go menu start, then computer.
b. right-click on the USB key, and then click Format.
c. under "File System", select "NTFS" and then click Start. Once the format is done, check if you can copy the files successfully.
I hope this helps.

BOUGHT NEW COMPUTER WINDOWS 10, CHANGED ITUNES MEDIA LOCATION FOR EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE. THE MUSIC DOES NOT APPEAR ON ITUNES.
Changing the iTunes media folder location setting affects only where new additions to your library will be stored. To use a disk external drive to store your library complete (and assuming that you have access to the original data of the library on an old computer) you must copy the iTunes folder, by default in C:\Users\username\Music, on the external drive - structure library and its records should be like this:
The hold button SHIFT DOWN when you start iTunes and when you see this message:
Click choose a library... then find and select the iTunes Library.itl in iTunes on your external drive folder.
For more information, see user turingtest2 on make a library of portable split. You must also acquire a 2nd external drive and allows create and maintain a backup your library.
