Hello guys, I have a problem. I have took a HDD from one computer to transfer large (22gb) folder on it from another computer. After putting HDD back in the first computer, the folder is not there, it is not showing. I have checked many times and everything was transferred but for some reason the other computer don't want to show it. Both computers run 8.1, hdd transfered is a system disk (with wondows on it). I think there is a problem with permissions or something like that. Please help me out. All I need is to transfer a 22gb file from one pc to another without waiting 10hours.

I have also tried to transfer file via internal network and it's just too long, it will take 10hours with speeds of 300kb/s.

try this: right click the folder, properties, security, click advanced, owner tab, change the name to administrators/(pc-name) sometimes it says trusted installer. If that doesn't do anything: right click the folder, properties, security, click on your name, click edit, scroll down and click everything for allow (not special permissions, it will say denied) and that might do it. If not then its just windows doing its annoying things.

I put the HDD in a computer that had those files. Transferred from one HDD on another and then put the HDD back in the original computer.

They are both desktops and folder is not there to click on it.

Yes, the files remain hidden but if I put hdd back into the pc that transferred was made from I can see the folder.
