Hi guys - Hope you can help. I recently used ERD Commander to move the My Documents folder on a Windows 7 machine to an external drive, during the move I received a permissions error on one of the files and the move process was halted. However, after checking the USB drive once the move was completed the My Pictures folder etc arent there. (Which were visible on the local HDD before I started the move)

The My Documents folder has obviously been moved now to the external drive, so theres no sign of it on the local hard disk.. however its clear a large amount of the data hasnt moved and has seemingly dissapeared into the ether.

Any ideas?
 
Sounds like it is gone if you can't find it on the USB drive or the original location.

In future I would COPY items to a new location, and then delete the originals once the operation is successful.
