    3. Where I Want To Make Copy Of My Backup Hard drive
    First i trying to copy paste 10 GB folder from one hard disc to other disc. It did not do and there is no error message either. So i copy tried some sub folder in main folder at least size of half 10 GB , again its [/FONT]failed , so try i more low lize amount[FONT=Open Sans, sans-serif] mount sub folder to copy , this time its copy successfully (2 GB folder with files 16.352) , when i tried to copy next folder its copied successfully 6GB mount data , so i checked once again why it faild when i tried to copy only 5GB , i got this that 5GB sun folder data contain more than 30,000 files and 6GB data is only 17,000 files only so i got my problem , and problem is copying more than 30,000 files folder gives error, Is there is a maximum limit of folder size (number of files in single folder or copied contain ) to copy paste. please advice.....and please tell when this type of error windows 7 give, is its because of 1GB ram DDR2 , or it is because clipboard size ?

    only reason I use Teracopy is because the fastcopy verifies at MD5 instead of CRC. CRC is a lot faster when transfering huge amounts of data that you want copy/move verified.

    Verify is important if you dont want data lost or corrupt, going external to external transfer for example is especially hairy business in a windows environment. But I need some speed too, and MD5 is just a little too much calc for 2 or more TB of files
