Using ASUS VivoBook Win 11 - want to send 2.5k files to 500 G Rocketfish HDD, but w/out CD read/write capabilities. Cannot send files to memory stick either. What gives?
I've no clue what you want to do, with what.
you do no need move ever. copy them ,drag them.
if need be say from HDD to thumb drive, we want to delete the source we do so but only rarely ,
2.5K means 2500 files or files 2500 bytes long (size)
new PC no CD drive sure, they are too big to fit there so are not there. why are you saying CD ?
the PC has SSD as most to now
where are your source files, not told
a CD now MOVE, as the last step of a move is delete and CD are read only device. so that aside
where is this source data no told at all
if files are on CD we by a CD reader USB external for $15
cured, better is DVD reader and can do DVD-R and CD-R BOTH
AT THE LEAST.
then copy them anywhere you want NOT MOVE. but COPY
a new thumb drive may need top be formatted to NTFS.
and make sure it mounts. as seen in DISK manager.
sorry all can do is guess what you are attempting
nor source told at all. (data)
rockfish target not source model not told 500gb 2.5" or 3.5"drive?
they all have models and models matter most,. mmm
is it old. is it USB drive
does the rockfish have files on it , important?
if yes +, no
format it NTFS.
if yes ,yes, the we must repair the rockfish(ask)
all target drives of any kind must
be good first. and not FULL.
and passes smart testes HDD, (ask)
the free app recuva can fix bad data on all that.
to use a target drive we find it in explorer. device manager and disk manager and must have drive letter assigned.
if yes we can open that drive in explorer and say create a text file in notepad, and save it and reopen it and say look MA,. it's not dead.
if no data is there now format it NTFS. (best) as NTFS allows data loss corrections later if need be.
not told by you at all what a CD has to do with any of this.
I can only guess.
