OK, so I have two hard drives one being a master and having 74.5 GB of storage. The other being a slave with 298 GB of storage. I transfer files from the master to the slave, but it got interrupted. I tried to started again but now it's just messed up, I'm right now formatting the disk drive. Is there any other way to transfer files besides copy and pasting? If you have any question s contact me via yahoo IM. Thanks!!!!!

you can use a backup of archive tool but, regardless, you should never have to reformat anything just because a copy process failed. The issue is something else - maybe drive incompatibility? Are they jumpered properly? Slave and master - NOT slave and default (these are different configs). The best compatibility in drives is to make sure you have the same drives in the system or at least the same qualities (drive access time...
Ah - I almost forgot. One thing that can cause hard drive damage during a copy and paste process is BAD MEMORY.

Copy and paste is the only way. It should work if you re-format it. It may be your new drive if it still doesn't. Before trying to troubleshoot it, see if you have the latest drivers.

Nope, the right click send to is pretty much the same thing. What was the interruption.

yes, there some software out there, but you could use right click send to, and/or drag it into where you want it.
