Copy faster

[ej159]

I'd like to copy all the files off of my old hard drive and stick them on to my new hard drive so the old one can be formatted without me losing data.

I know I could just copy and paste in explorer but it takes ages and certain files "can't be copied". There must be a freeware app that I can use that would speed this up.

Anyone help?

Ahh well I'm ahead of you there. I installed a second hard drive, stuck windows on it and booted from it. I now see two hard drives. My old disk has windows on, I might as well leave behind the windows directory (right?) and grab the rest. I was just gonna try and copy everything over, including system files, to a folder on my new hdd but windows wouldn't let me move some system files etc.

ooo, I made tons of folders. Premiere's got a video file, stuff lurking all over. I'm gonna sort it out some time! Thanks for the help will use Unstoppable Copier !
