I'm running Windows XP Pro with 3 hard drives. 1 is the main OS one with Win XP on it and is the Master on the primary IDE RAID channel. A 2nd is a Data drive for all my media. It is slave on the same channel. Both of these have been on my system since the installation of Win XP. The 3rd I just got today. It's Master on the secondary IDE RAID channel. All three are NTFS formatted. I'm trying to make a backup of things from the 1st and 2nd drive onto the 3rd drive, just for safe-keeping. Most things copy over fine, but certain things (Favorites folder for instance) will not no matter what I do. In fact, they freeze the system when I try to access them from the new hard drive. I can't even select them to delete them, so the only way to get rid of the corrupt copies is to format the new drive. These files, however, copy to and from both original hard drives just fine, no problems whatsoever. Is this some form of NTFS "protection?" Is there any way to get around it? I just want to backup all the files I want to...

move ur new drive to be the slave on ur primary IDE chain, then copy everything from ur old master drive to the new drive u bought, then reverse with ur other slave drive and that should work! hope that helps! take care! bye
