My laptop will read my USB drive only on a particular angle and I need to back it up, but when i start to copy files from my USB to a computer, it only copies 2 folders then stops. WHAT DO I DO??

Only thing you can do is pray that you don't need the info on there.

Suggest to bend it on the angle it works and copy as much as you can, even if it takes you 100 retires to get everything off. Also, try to copy individual files/folders instead of trying to copy everything at the same time.

And then go and buy a decent usb drive.
 


Do you get any error messages?
Do you have enough free space on the laptop to hold the data that you are copying?
