Problems with transferring files on Windows
You're facing issues during the transfer of your old Windows installation files. The errors you're encountering are likely due to file corruption, incomplete checksums, or mismatched file formats. Since there are over 750,000 files, it's common for some to fail. Try verifying file integrity with checksums, ensuring all files are in compatible formats, and retrying the transfer. If the problem persists, consider using a backup tool or contacting Microsoft support for further assistance.
This process transfers files from a disk to a folder by copying them into the target location.
Ignoring all problematic files stops the process, likely due to the history.ie5 folder. The initial issue appeared as a shortcut error, so I removed many shortcuts.
Ensure your backup drive is sufficient and has available space to create a new partition using macrium reflect. If not, consider copying files directly from a Linux live USB—such as Rufus—to an USB drive. Boot from the USB, open your file manager, locate the Windows drive, and transfer files there without interference.
