transferring files from one hard drive to another

rednose1 · 01-01-12, 06:06 PM

As spoken about in a previous thread i've just formatted a bigger hard drive to use with my blade but i'm having trouble transferring the files from the old drive to the right place in my new drive.
I thought i could just drag the files across from one to another and they'd work, but they store in usbo and will not play.
My question is : How can i get the files in the "files" part of the drive with the title of the movie showing rather than the usbo part with just "channel 4 hd" but no film title?
Hope this makes sense (iv'e just read it back and i'm not sure!

)

You should be able to copy & Paste from one drive to another when they are both connected to your PC. Just copy everything to the same folder on the target drive.

Don't know what you mean by "usbo", have you setup the drive with multiple partitions? You only want a single partition on the drive.

Thanks for the reply lincsat, sorted it last night.
When i transferred the files i should have dragged into "records" otherwise they don't store in the right place.
Everything is hunkydory, at least for now!
Cheers
