Transferring Files From One Place To Another Results In Disappearance ?
Nov 22, 2009
I wanted to transfer all my files from one box to another, so I rammed in the gateway hard drive, copied all files in the root of the drive, and pasted it into a folder on my New desktop.When the file transfer finished, the folder (on the New desktop) disappeared... Funny. So, I checked the hidden files in explorer. Not there...Well, I used the command prompt. Not there either. After a while, I forgot about it, and just recently got a new defrag program (SmartDefrag).

I am a 'Novice' to Backups, but am trying to learn.Where is the best place to save Backup files? I am running XP Prof. and carefully ran the Backup utility. I noticed the different options on places to save the files. I noticed I can save it to the 'D' drive (external disc), or my 'C' drive (hard drive). What happens if I save it to my 'C' drive, and my pc crashes.How do I retreive my Backup files, if I cannot turn on my pc? Is it best to save them on disc?

I recently bought a new Dell XPS and want to transfer some files from my old computer but don't want everything. One computer (Gateway) uses Windows XP Home and the other (Dell) uses Windows XP Media. Is there a way to do this without having to pay someone?

Here's a toughie to crack
2 hard drives, both sata, 120 GB Seagate and 250 GB Maxtor
hooked up to a Asus P4P800SE board with p4 2.53 ghz cpu and 1024 mb of DDR333 ram Windows XP Pro SP2
now.... on a fresh windows install when i copy a file from one drive to the other it goes fast (700 meg file in under 30 seconds)... then I install all my basic software (office, winamp, visual studio, nod32, device drivers for manufacturers website) and following that eventually my performance drops through the floor... it takes like 7 minutes to copy the above mentioned 700 meg file and while at it the CPU usage is high. Process explorer (sysinternals) says that most of that cpu power is taken up by hardware interrupts and I cant do much else when its copying. If i boot with WinPE those files transfer good again... 30 seconds for 700 megs.
SO this is a software problem and what i've done already is
1. disabled my startups
2. double checked that my drives are DMA enabled
3. switched back to standard IDE drivers for the controller (made no difference so i reinstalled the Intel chipset drivers again)
4. defragged the drive
and i'm out of ideas on what else I could try... if anyone has any ideas i'd be greatful. there is no viri/spyware on this machine. its been scanned left right and center

I am currently running Fat32 and as noted in a previous post I am building a new computer. I have copied some files on to cds. What I would like to know (if someone has done this) is that can these files be transfered to the new build as I plan on going NTFS. Will they convert from fat32 to NTFS when copied from the disc or even work at all? Or just out of luck and have to start all over?

Does anyone know how I can transfer my files from my desktop computer to my laptop without having to take the long way around by making a million CDs? My desktop seems to be on its last leg with all the error messages and since it won't let me download any upgrades without the oriignal disc, which I cannot find, it has not been been updated in a while. So, I want to move everything over to my laptop.

I'm quite new to computers so this may seem like a silly question, but I thought I'd ask anyway...I'm due to buy a new computer, but I have many MP3 music/video files on my old one and want to transfer them to the new one. The thing is I don't want to do it my connecting the two PC's ( with a wire/cabel etc.), so I was wondering if there's any other way of doing it?? Could I use a disc for instance (floppy disc??)

I have a usb 2.0 Vantec NexStar 3 external hard drive enclosure, it is packed with a Western Digital 80gig hard drive. After about 10 minutes of continuous use it will go unreconized by my computer and i have to restart the external drive in order for my computer to see it again. Is this a hardware failure in the enclosure or is it my computer? Now, if there is on and off use (like listening to mp3's or videos) it will go a lot longer time before it quits on me.

I have a really old computer; not to sure what the system specs are like other than it being made by Tiny and having a 4 GB HDD. My mum wants to use the word processor now and then but the printer has broken and she would rather not buy another; partly because drivers may be an issue and partly becuase I have unused retail copies of Windows ME and 2000 that a couple of mates donated and can print off at my Dad's house.The issue with 98 is that I want to be using USB sticks when necessary to transfer word documents over to my Dad's computer running XP to print but 98 does not have the necessary drivers and I think it is impossible to get any; from what I understand that what 98 SE was for.

I have Xp pro workstation that i set up as a server to share files and folders. I grant specific users both the shared permissions and advanced permissions. they can see the folder and access the folders. but they cannot modify them. It says "access denied". I verified that the permissions were not propogating from the parent folder also. Everything that i see says it should work, but it doesnt. iThe only thing i got to work was giving the user full rights to the above folder..which is for all to share but not to modify.

When i double click on a folder to open it, or single click of the start menu, it brings up a search, rather than the contents of the folder. How do i change it back so that just by clicking or double clicking opens the folder rather than bringing up the search window?

I double click on a Jpeg it opens in Windows Paint instead of the Windows Fax and Picture viewer as it has always done.BMP and GIFS still open correctly When I check under properties it states that Windows Picture and Fax viewer is the programme it opens with and that is highlighted in the drop down column. I can open them when I use the right click drop down menu and select preview, then it will open in the viewer. I have ran Norton Antivirus, spybot, Ewido, adaware. I have tried changing the Jpegs to open with paint, then changing it back again, still won't budge.

I was thinking about adding some memory to my computer tomorrow. Where on Windows 2000 would I find what type of RAM to buy or would I be better off pulling a stick out of the computer and taking it to the store with me? I have 196 megs of RAM right now and I can't run my virus and spyware without slowing to a standstill. I read somewhere that now a days you need almost a gig of RAM. Is that true? How much Ram can they put on one stick now?

I am trying to design and get a Website up and running. I am finding this confusing enough. Then Dreamweaver told me I ought to check to see if IIS (Internet Information Server) was installed, so I did (it wasn't - no C:/Inetpub). Then, again following directions, I went to Control Panel/ Add or Remove Programs/ Add or Remove Window Components to install IIS.
Not an option.So I went to www.microsoft.com/downloads and could find all sorts of ancillary helpers to IIS (Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 Resource Kit Tools, Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 Manager for Windows XP, Internet Information Services (IIS) Lockdown Tool 2.1) but noplace from which I could just download IIS 6.0.
