Question Can checksums be deceiving or compromised? Windows encounters issues when attempting to relocate files.
I made a website archive with many files, but when I attempted to transfer it to another folder on the same drive, the file transfer stayed stuck on "Calculating" for minutes. The "Items remaining" displayed as 1 throughout. After canceling and rebooting, the folder moved successfully. I created checksum files beforehand and verified them, and no errors appeared. My concern is whether this confirms the files are completely intact or if I should rely on copying the backup from another drive instead.
