I have a large 22.4 GB folder that I am trying to copy from my SSD 250mb disc to a 2TB HDD, there already is a copy of this folder on the HDD but I am trying to update it. The copying process baulks almost immediately on a file of 269mb which is the downloaded file for Acronis 2014, yet, if I copy and paste that file alone it completes without a problem. I have tried the process in 3 different file managers with the same result. Windows 8.1.1, 8GB RAM

Patch reliability is unclear, but widespread attacks make patching prudent. Go ahead and patch, but watch out for potential problems. |

I take it that SSD is a 250GB disk and not a 250MB flash card?
1 (Possible bad/corrupt drive/memory cell sector) Run a checkdisk on both drives and check the SMART data as well.
2 (Operating system issue) Run a “sfc /scannow” on the system. -

AskWoody PlusMay 29, 2014 at 3:49 pm #1454897Thank you for your replies. Yes, the SSD is a 250GB disc. I did search that error message but the general advice was to run error checking on both discs, which I did with no errors found. I then deleted the 22.4gb folder from the target disc and tried again and then it copied perfectly, very strange.
Regards
Peter
