Greetings. I am looking for ideas to solve an issue that has been doing my head in all weekend. I recently upgraded from 2 x 600GB Velociraptors to a single Samsung Evo 1TB SSD. I kept one HDD in place to use as backup storage and after a HDD re format to clean it, I copied and pasted my whole FSX file on to it complete with add ons etc. Having done this in the past with complete success, I was confident in doing it again. Now, when I try to do the reverse and copy it back on to the new SSD, it will not work. I get the window that says "Preparing to copy" for a few minutes then the window simply disappears and nothing is copied ! I have tried every method to move the files including 2 windows side by side and dragging and dropping, I used the "Move To" and "Copy To" feature in the menu bar but nothing works. I tried small files and large, they all fail to copy.

I tried re installing FSX and Acceleration on the SSD and after setting it all up to how it was previously, I tried copying over the Add ons one by one, no luck, copying fails every
time !?

I Googled this issue but could not find any definitive answers.

Anybody got any thoughts and advice on this ? I am using Win 7 Home 64 bit which is a fresh install on a new 120GB SSD with new MOBO, CPU and RAM.

Thanks. Buster.
 
That is very strange it doesn't give you some sort of message. Have you checked the Event Viewer to see if it is putting something there?

Can you copy/move files not related to FSX? If other files work, I'd try resetting permissions on the folder that isn't working.
