Hey Everyone,
I have hooked up a 2.5" laptop hard drive (running Windows 7 Home 32bit) to my computer to copy files over using a USB adapter (not a HDD encolsure!). My computer is a Core i5 with 24gb ram running Windows 7 Pro 64bit, and the laptop hard drive came out of a http://us.toshiba.com/computers/la [...] 5D-S5976/. I have the laptop hard drive out of the laptop, because there are issues with missing files (I believe it said boot) or something. All I know is the computer will go through the Motherboard screens then it will give me an error when it is supposed to load Windows. Then it will just reset itself. I have not been unable to get into safe mode (because I can't find it) using F8. Using F8 takes me to a type of "recovery console/partition" loaded by Toshiba.
I've been able to copy most of everything on it I need, but there have been a few folders where I've started the copy process and it will freeze... Sometimes the copy progress will make it to 1/4 of the way and stop moving. Sometimes, it will make it 1/2 way through or even 4/5 complete and it will freeze. I know it is freezing, because I've walked away from the computer for a good 15-20 minutes while copying a folder around 500-800 MB, and when I returned it has not progressed.
So, for the folders I've had trouble with, I started to copy each file one by one. This has helped me locate the problematic files, which some are just pictures and some photoshop files (PSDs). Also, before each folder I've copied, I've opened the properties and set the security settings as "full control" for my User account (on my Core i5 rig, which is already the computer admin as well). What I don't understand is why these individual files are not copying over...
Is there a way for me to copy these files? Or, are they just corrupted and I will have to accept them as goners?
Thanks
