Copying folder from W7 to W10 appears unreadable and using 0 bytes
Hello people
I have searched on the internet and in the forum, but i did not find the exact situation.
This is what i do:
I have a laptop with corrupted installation. So i decide to backup data and reinstall windows.
I take out the hard drive, and backup/copy all the data (20gb) to a different PC with Windows 7 64bits NTFS file system.
Then, i reconnect the HD to the laptop and install Windows 10 64bits Anniversary Edition (build 10586).
After Windows 10 boots ok, I disconnect again the HD, and connect it again to the Windows 7 PC.
Then I copy all the backup from the PC with Win7, to the HD with Win10. And finally plug the HD again to the laptop.
After I turn on the laptop, the backup folder containing 20gb of data is unreadable by Windows 10. It says the file system is damaged, and its properties say it´s occupying 0 bytes. There is no way i could read that folder again, and going to "My computer" shows there is 20gb less free to use.
Also, trying to delete that folder is impossible, Windows won´t let me.
This is the second time it happened this, with another laptop, and the same situation. Copying files from Win7 to Win10, make those files disappear. The only way i can solve this issue is transferring the files by the network.
I think it has something to do with the file system, but i don't know how to solve it.
Does anybody have a clue? Thanks.
