I'm putting Win7 RC on my desktop (already use it on my laptop), and I've encountered a pretty major bug. I did the Win7 install on a new hard drive, but wanted to transfer the contents of my old 200 GB XP drive to a folder on my new drive for backup. Here's what happened: First I just dragged the old drive icon from Computer to a folder on the new drive. It finished copying, but when I checked what was copied, many folders (even in the root directory) were missing. Of the 200 GB, around 50 GB total were transferred. The copy dialog did not give any errors or indications that it had skipped files. It closed as though the copying was complete. Then I actually went into my old drive, selected all files in the root directory (I have hidden files visible) and copied those to the folder on my new drive. I told it to skip copying files that already exist. Now my root directories look the same, but I have still transferred only 100 GB of the 200 GB drive. Again, the copy dialog closed as though it was finished with no warnings or errors. I'm not sure what's doing this. Perhaps permissions or hidden files...? Anyway, it is a pretty major bug to not report an incomplete copy to the user. Also, is there a way to do what I want?

Hi, You can use the XCOPY to check which folder caused the problem: 1. Click the Start button, then in the "Start Search" box, type CMD but DO NOT press Enter yet. 2. In the list above, under "Programs" right-click on CMD that appears above and choose "Run as Administrator" and click "Continue". 3. In the open window, type the following command and press Enter: XCOPY D:\ E:\backup\ /E/H In this command, I suppose that your old xp drive is D and you want to copy the contents to E:\backup\ folder. Then you can see the detail copying information. The copying will stop if error occurs. If you want to continue copying even if error occurs, you can use the following command line: XCOPY D:\ E:\backup\ /E/H/CTry the command line above to copy the contents of the XP drive Thomas Lins
