    By far the best instructional computer video I've come across, which guides us slowly and clearly through the subject in hand. The web is full of useless 'help' vids where the instructor races through things far too fast. Thank you!

    Is there a difference between sending a file to another drive and copying a file to another drive? Does the quality of the files change depending on which method you use?

    • @cwtek1
      @cwtek1  Год назад +1

      There is no difference and the quality does not change because the transfer is digital.

      Please use crystaldisk info to check both your Internal and External drive, you could also run a check disk on both drives too, if all checks out ok then try copying the files in small batches.
