Best software copier?

[copyright_1978]

Hi Guys, I want to copy a huge 70GiG folder to a second hardrive, now in the past I have tried and it keeps messing up. It's an actual software so I get errors in the installation process. Do you guys know of a solution which will allow me to do just that?

Please describe "messing up."

Are you trying to copy a Program and re-install it? If so, you generally can't do that due to needing all the entries from the registry and the other files scattered in the Windows folder.

There is obviously a delaye between reading and writing to the second hardrive, so during installation it says a few files have been corrupt but they are perfect on the source hardrive? Any suggestions?

Corrupt files are caused because they are open and being written to when they are copied. They error out because when they try to verify the checksum (size) mismatches and causes the error.

Only a couple of ways to deal with the problem. One is to stop whatever program is writing to the disk and then do your backup. The other is to get some backup software that has an open file option and can backup open files. Generally it does this by locking the file as it is being copied. Another option is to just ignore the error. This depends on which file it errors on. Some are not important, others are.
