You could try it with just a few files and see it you could then move the files to your new computer from there. Pretty sure we had a similar post that never got resolved recently.Īny chance that it might let you copy the files to an intermediate location like a laptop using the laptops OS and then to your new computer? Hopefully someone else will have some additional ideas. I had a few cases way back when I had to boot the computer into Linux to get it to move files, but I recently moved all the files from my old computer to my new Windows 8 computer and didn't run into any issues. If you are trying to copy folders with lots of files, try making a folder with the same name on you new computer and copy the files from the old folder a few at a time, sometimes it's just one file that will keep it from copying. I haven't had any of these problems in a couple of years, but I remember having issues like this when I first switched to Windows 7. When you are done undue the process by doing the same thing and pasting in Log out and log back in as Administrator. Open the command prompt with elevated privileges by clicking the Start orb, All Programs, Accessories, right-click Command Prompt and then select Run as administrator.

I'm not sure this would help but try and copy the files in Administrator Mode.
