- swamped might be an overstatement but for a first timer the alerts have shattered my faith ...
- [x] Use queue ... enabled
- this is just some of the alerts before I stopped copying ...
... I abandoned "Robust Copy" and considered Win Explorer (ClassicShell) Classic Explorer.
![crazy :crazy:](./images/smilies/crazy.gif)
Of three original AVI files (they all play in VLC) but only file1.avi and file2.avi have copied to the new HDD but no sign of file3.avi
file1.avi -- 28.9MB
file2.avi -- 36.6MB
file3.avi -- 28.9MB << did not copy
With 70 GB of files (incl 4,500 txt files) manually checking is not an option
- just discovered "Options" for "Robust Copy" ... to record errors to a log file (when all else fails, read the directions)
What might have gone wrong ?
- would my heath-Robinson connections + USB 2 be a problem
Ultimately I want to abandon the pocket HDD (all my data) and use the mains powered HDD ... hence the "copy" exercise.
Would appreciate any advice
