The files cannot be copied and transferred to an external hard drive

Hi, I would like to transfer all my files and documents in my pc to an external hard drive. I copied all the files and paste them into my hard drive. However, all the files have to be shortened in the external hard drive. Files saved the drive D cannot be copied, either.

What can I do with the problem please?

copy the folder my documents of the office will be only copy the shortcut, goin the folder, and then copy everything
 
or use MS backup, see here

  • How to copy a folder to an external hard drive with the same file on it and have it just add new files instead of replace all old already on there, as well as to add new?

    I want to copy a folder to an external hard drive with the file already on it and not having to replace all the files each time. I just want to click and drag the folder to the external hard drive and have it add new files I've added in the folder on my pc over time on the external hard drive. It's annoying to have to replace alllll the files each time.

    Thank you!

    A simple way is to use the second copy of Centered.com software. It is reasonably priced and will do exactly what you want. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

    Ran the Scan, the system is secure.

    I was able to bypass stubborn files to transfer them to a flash drive and copy them to another folder.  I was then able to access.  Somehow I messed up the permissions in the previous transfers of old machines and OS.

    Thank you for your help and attention.

  • How can I copy all the 18 000 pictures on my imac to an external hard drive to give to my daughter and also keep on the imac

    How can I copy all the 18 000 pictures on my imac to an external hard drive to give to my daughter and keep them all on my imac

    Your daughter have a Mac and use Photos? If so just copy your library of Photos to SMT, it must be formatted OS X Extended (journaled) with the defined property is ignored. Then she can use the SMT library or copy it on his Mac.

    If she doesn't have a Mac do the following:

    1 - Create a new folder on the external drive.

    2 - Select all photos in the library (in the window of Photos).

    3. Select the file ➙ ➙ export export Original unmodified for XXXXX items menu option.

    4. in the format of subfolder select Export window = name of the time

    5. in the next window, select the folder that you created on the external drive as the destination of export and export all your photos to this. Photos at every moment in your photo library will be put in a folder with the date of that moment and this issue will be put on the EHD in the folder that you created.

  • Why import AVCHD properly storing sequences map (SD card) while the same images completely transferred to an external hard drive imports only the video with no audio?

    I shoot on a Sony Alpha a65 and it uses AVCHD when recording. I have not met this problem before.

    I transferred the entire contents of a memory card on my external hard drive.

    I tried to import the images from the hard drive, both using the import media browser-only video clips are imported with NO AUDIO.

    I thought that I had corrupted images as my memory card was images of two different rods. I turned one on 2 October and the other on 15 Oct (approx.).

    HOWEVER: I then tried to import directly from the SD card - and it worked! Audio, video and all.

    I can change this being, of course, but it's a concern I have obviously can't keep the SD card only for this sequence forever - and backup to external hard drive will not audio. That might mean that I won't be able to pick up on it in the future, if necessary.

    Can you help solve this problem – that is, with the film which is not imported correctly from the external hard drive or why something is lost in the transfer - and explain why this happens?

    Please note: I tried marqueeing everything and do drag and drop, as well as select and drag / move, when you transfer the images from the SD card to the external hard drive. I'm using a Lacie Rugged 1 TB (firewire option).

    Maybe there's a hidden system files that are not copied.  You have "View hidden files" enabled and "do not show system files" in the Folder Options disabled?

    If you click and drag the library of your boot drive to the external HD all you do is copy the library on this disc.  To make a "gesture", hold command key while dragging.

  • My PC does not allow me to down load anything, that is to say that the files cannot be verified, and he also says that my certificate is not valid. does anyone have ideas, what it means

    I am trying the load Kaspersky Pure, but it says that the file cannot be verified

    Two questions for you:

    1. Please quote the exact verbatim of the message you get.

    2. you say "Download", but don't you mean "Download" or "install"? Don't miss the download or installation fails after you have successfully downloaded the file.

    Just in case you are confused as to what the words mean, please read the following:

    The word 'Download' means to copy a file (perhaps a program file, but not necessarily) from a server somewhere on the internet for your computer. Please invert not that Word with 'install', which means to load a program on your hard disk in a form from which it can be executed.

    Generally, you install a program from a CD, a floppy disk or on the internet. Only in the latter case, the internet, is there any download involved, but even then, it's a two step process: first download you from the internet, and then you install it.

  • Error message: the file cannot be found and cannot attach an Autocad drawing to a Windows Mail message

    Original title: I can't fix an Autocad drawing to a Windows Mail message.

    I can reach everything. He pointed out that the files cannot be found.

    Hi JerryHunt,

    1. when the files located?

    2 are you able to attach this file in other emails?

    3. How do you attach the file? Are you trying to drag-and - drop?

    You can try through the interface and try to drag and drop the file.

    You can also try to change the location to save the file. You can save to a different location and also save by using a different file name. Try to attach the file in Windows mail, then check if it works.

    Hope this information is useful.

  • Cannot copy files from a USB USB Kingston on WD external hard drive

    When I try to copy large groups of a Kingston DT101 (32 GB Tumbdrive) files on an external hard drive WD (WD3200MLSP: 32 GB) the computer does nothing and there is no "Copy" dialog box I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers but it does not work. However, when I copy only the sections of the USB hard disk, then copy works. I use the Ctrl + C to copy the files and the light on the USB flashes on then off. Then, when I navigate to the folder on the hard drive and I press Ctrl + V to paste the files, the light on the USB key turns on and remains lit. However, the lights on the hard drive WD do nothing.

    It depends on the size of the file.

    It files are 4GBs or more and the player is formatterd to FAT32, it will not transfer due to limitations of size of FAT32 file transfer...

    See you soon.

  • Disk utility finds several files and folders after formatting external hard drive

    It is somewhat an Enigma to me. I bought an external hard drive that I wanted to use to store my Time Machine backups. I formatted in Mac OS extended (journaled case-sensitive) without any problems, however, I noticed that disk utility indicated that I had 18 and 59 files (space used = 448,1 Mb)!  I ejected the disc, it reconnected and utility found 64-19 records to disc now! How is that possible? What is going on?  I used the 'diskutil list' command on the Terminal, and I found the following:

    / dev/disk2

    #: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER

    0: GUID_partition_scheme * GB 500,1 disk2

    1: disk2s1 EFI EFI 209.7 MB

    2: Apple_HFS disk2s2 backup 499,8 Gb

    I see there are 2 partitions, even if I made a partition during formatting of the drive.  I don't know if this 'normal' or if I'm doing something wrong. I would be very happy any help you can give! Thank you very much!

    It's normal. new disc format have information. When you start the firmware queries drives to see what is on them to find if they ae bootable
