Copying And Moving : 2mb Per Second?
Jun 8, 2008
However, I now cannot backup my email. Before I would copy the dbx files and it would take about 10 minutes to do 5gb. Now however - I have 400,000 eml files (I have a lot of email from my web businesses). These eml files are all small. So my problem is that windows first of all takes approx. 2 hours just to calculate the damn size. Then when it eventually starts to copy the files from one location to another (Either on the same RAIDed sata drives, or to another) it estimates days of transfer time left. And I know the calculations are never right, so I left my PC on for 9 hours one night and it wasn't even half way through! It was transferring at 2mb per second! I can upload the data to the internet and back faster than that!
I mean - what the hell? If 98 can do it, me, 2000, xp... what's gone wrong with Vista? So far it's been a pile of junk and it's driving me mad! I'm really trying to like it and make it work, but it's about to be sent back to the shop. So folks - can you tell me why this nonsense? How do i get around it? How can I backup these thousands of tiny files without leaving my PC on for days (I want to do a 10 min backup each day to another sata drive, simple task).

I need to copy some dll files to my system32 but vista wont let me. I have tried enabling the administrator account but i keep getting the message that i dont have the rights to perform the action or something. Disabling UAC also didnt help anything. Vista is such a pain in the ass. I know security is a good thing but they also should consider to make it easier to work with it.......

I copied some old jpg photos from a floppy disk and transferred them to a CD since my new computer doesn't have one and not all the photos would open and those that did had a "saw blade" edge to them...large pixels that don't look like that on my old compter. Most of the photos were 40-420mb. Only about 1/3rd would open up and when I tried to open or preview, I got a pop up that said, "Photo gallery can't open this photo or video. The file may be unsupported, damaged or corrupt. I used Nero 6 to do the transfer and never had that problem befofre. Any advise on a solution?

I copied a small file from my XP to a cd to install on new laptop with Vista Home Basic. Everytime I try to run the program on Vista it tells me to insert the cd. Why won't it save the file?

A very frustrating feature of Vista is the inability to copy certain files such as executable files over a network. Any attempt to copy an exe file from the network to an individual computer produces a message that this needs permission but then fails to complete the copy. Is there any way to configure Vista to allow me to copy a exe file form the network to another computer on the network.

Using Vista Ultimate 64bit We have created a bat file that performs multiple XCOPY commands to copy various files all over the network from key servers and workstations to the local machine into a PGP encrypted drive, drive letter V. So a typcical command might be something like: XCOPY \Server_Nameshare namespecial folder*.* V:Special Folder or XCOPY \Server_Namec$another folder*.* V:Another Folder
The local machine has a user logged in as a Domain Admin The network connection is 1gbit We have tried this bat file many different ways.
1) Manual Backup - by that I mean double clicking the bat file to run, sometimes is done and backs up everything in 8 minutes.
2) Scheduled Backup - task scheduler as domain admin DOMAINAdmin Name running with as high a priv as possible - everything backs up in 21 minutes Same scenarios, manual backup runs in 20 minutes, sometimes the scheduled is 40 minutes The local machine is running AV software - CA etrust - which also runs on an XP machine that does not display this speed behavior. The local machine is running Diskeeper 2009. I do not know if this matters, since the benchmarks are so different in each test. I know VIsta now does indexing of files for searching, could this be creating an issue? We have tried different switch ports, different network cables, verified the gbit.

I have a small network consisting of five machines. Two of the computers have Vista Home Premium installed and the others have various flavors of Windows XP installed. Copying and transferring files works flawlessly between the machines except for one of the Xp laptops which has very poor performance when communicating with either of the Vista machines. I can access this computer from either of the Vista machines and transfer files with no problem. However, if I use this laptop to access the Public folder on either of the Vista machines, the throughput is so slow to the point that Windows Explorer will "hang".
In an effort to solve this problem I have: Installed and run Network Magic on both computers...no problems found. I have installed the Link Layer Topology service on the laptop and I have tried disabling the "Autotuning level" on one of the Vista machines all to no avail. The laptop in question has XP Media Center on it with no antivirus or firewall software installed. All ping times are good. All of the computers on the network are connected wirelessly except for one of the Vista machines. I've tried connecting the laptop directly to the router with a cable but still no joy. At this point I am stumped.

I've copied 600 photos from a PC using Windows 2000 to a new laptop using Vista Home Basic. The files were copied from the PC to a flash drive and then to the laptop (to the "Pictures" directory). Trouble is, when this process started all the photos had file names, and when they got to Vista all they had was numbers (sequentially, from 1 to 597). The file names I'd given them are nowhere to be found, and I'm hoping someone can tell me how to fix this problem. Some of the files are very old and need the file namesw for anyone to have any clue about who or what the photo is.

On my PC's HDD I have some files encrypted. Used "folder encryption" that is in one of folder properties selected "Encrypt data..." Folder is shown in green in explorer respectively. In the beginning, when I copied any files from this folder to another location (e.g. USB HDD) files became automatically decrypted, i.e. I could read those files from USB HDD on any other PC.
But now something changed. Though I did not make any changes to security or file system settings, files copied from encrypted folder to USB HDD stay encrypted. That is - I can read them only on PC where I copied them to USB HDD. On other PCs where I connect USB HDD files are not accessible. How can I change it back? I need files copied from encrypted folder to USB HDD to decrypt automatically, because it's backup procedure and I need them accessible on any other PC. How can I stop encryption attribute to be copied together with file?

I try to install an application (Windows Installer), the wizard Installation opens smoothly, but when you start copying Files to disk bypasses the following error: "The system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation" What could be the problem? I have Windows Vista Home Edition and i'm the 'Administrator'!

Microsoft Office Document Imaging allowed copying of a single page of multiple page images - none of the programmes in Vista (Gallery; Paint; Picture Management) seem to allow that and there seem to be compatibility issues with MODI) What is the solution?

VISTA HP SP1 x64, and even though I've only been experimenting with Vista since install yesterday, I love it. I have some Data Cd's that were burned on my Windows XP Media Center 2005 SP3 using Nero Essentials 7, ie. some eBooks both in MS Word 2003 and pdf format, 'My Documents' folder and all files (MS Word 2003 mostly), Internet Explorer 7 'Favorites' list. My question is can these files be put into Vista via copying them on the desktop, and dragging and dropping them where I want them? Will Vista even be able to see these files on the disk? I don't even want to try until I get a solid answer as this whole thing is stable as the Rock of Gibralter and I don't want to mess it up.

The issue:
My 1TB LaCie NetworkSpace is attached to my Linksys WRT54GL router via Ethernet cable.
Whenever I try to copy files from my NetworkSpace over onto my laptop(wirelessy), my cable modem disconnects from the internet and 3 green LEDs start to blink (Power, Online and Cable).
I am left with no internet access.
However, as soon as the file has finished copying my modem reconnects to the internet again. All LEDs go back to their normal state again and I regain access to the internet..........

Basically I have a 250gb external USB HDD which i have partitioned on HFS+ using MacDrive. Recently I was copying some data across when programs started freezing up and unfortunatly so did the window controlling the transfer. After checking no data was being written to the disc (watched for the red LED) i unplugged it and rebooted the system. When back on my desktop I plugged my HDD back in and when accessing it the majority of data was missing off it and folders were reading ridiculous sizes (40TB for example) although the used space was reading correctly for what is actually on it.
After a day or two of leaving it alone I came back to have another go at fixing it and now vista blue screens every time i connect it, when it's connected on boot it runs chkdisk and has tried to fix it to no avail. Under linux it still reads some to most of the data but i would like to recover as much as possible and don't know how to go about it with the HFS+ partitioning and no access to a mac.

I very recently purchased a Compal KHLB2. I inserted the Vista Ultimate x64 disk and went to work installing it. It goes through the initial process just fine, copying the files, expanding and whatnot. However, after it has to restart it will go to the part where the screen is black with the words "Please wait while Windows sets up your computer...", finally make it past that and then get back to the Installing Windows Vista Ultimate x64 page. It will then stay on Copying Vista Ultimate x64 files for a bit and then blue-screen me. Under Technical Information is tells me 0x00000124.

I'm setting up a new PC with Vista and MS Mail. The old PC was XP with Outlook Express. Are there any special considerations in moving everything over from OE to MS Mail? Or is it the same as it would be when copying to OE on a different PC? I'm concerned with messages/folders, contacts, and rules.

I am running Vista Ultimate on my laptop which has a 50gb internal harddrive. I have less than 500 mb of memory left and was wondering could I move the entire content of my C: drive ( including the vista ultimate ) to an external harddrive, then format my C: drive and boot up from my external harddrive? Also if this is possible could I dual boot with Mac OS X Leapord? If this is possible can you please tell me how.

When I copy or delete a large number of files (>1000) in Vista32, the explorer.exe process grows to more than 1.5GB in size, and then my computer stops responding. I think there is a memory leak in Windows Explorer? And how can I copy, move or delete large numbers of files?

I am using a Dell XPS 420. I have been able to transfer files via a private network with no problems until now. I made a share folder with the correct permission. I can transfer any file under 5MB with no errors. If I send a file at 6MB it will process the folder and after 5 min I get this error message:
Network Error... There is a problem accessing C:userpublicetwork testfile name28624.zip.
It says make sure you are connected to the network and try again. Is there a timing issue causing the lost connection? I worked with Dell and since it worked in Jan 08 to reinstall the backup for the Dell Factory settings. I thought I would check with the Windows Vista Community before I do the reinstall. I also have another computer with Windows Vista Ultimate and I can transfer the files with no problem via Hamachi network.

I wanted to see what kinda the other vista boot screen would be if you untick the "No GUI boot" thing from msconfig. However, when I booted Vista loads that picture (there is no moving bar or anything) and suddenly gives me this error code: 0xc0000225: NLS data is missing or corrupt, vista cannot boot, contact system administrator, blah blah blah.
is Vista really this kinda OS? You disable GUI boot and you need to reinstall the whole OS? I really need to know how I can fix this. I also have ubuntu on this same pc and I can fully access vista files with it. Safe mode also gives that error.

Is there a way to move up a folder like there was in XP? In XP there was this icon Clicking it moved you to the folder above. Is there such a feature in Vista? I've been unable to find one. To be certain we are talking about the same thing. Double click and enter a folder on your Desktop. Once there, how do you move to the folder above that folder?
