Not just you - during heavy copying sessions (eg lots of video from one HD to another) I get all kinds of weird things like blank folder names, switched file/folder names and the like.

Oh man, I really wish I had seen this a couple of days ago. My storage drive is my old HDD from before I installed an SSD. When I ran Windows off it I had it short stroked, but I wanted to finally merge the partitions... so since all my data was on the second, larger partition, it was kind of messy to simply merge them and I ended up with a dynamic disk with the partition starting offset, so I thought, hey, I'll back everything up to one of my laptops, wipe it out and start fresh, and copy everything back.

I used to use Magical Jellybean Keyfinder but Produkey seems to work better.

Also, for the person with the Vista PC...

If it came with Vista, this new Skylake PC is probably faster, includes Windows 10 Home, runs on 5 watts, is pocket sized and fanless: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883722001&FM=1

I bought two to test out for work and after working with them a few days I'm bulk ordering a dozen for various light-duty things.

Glad to hear this recommendation; I saw this linked a week or so ago somewhere and was contemplating getting one to replace my parents' ancient Athlon 4350e desktop that's slowly degenerating. Hard to beat that for the price, all I have to do is figure out a bit more storage for them. I had replaced the hard drive with an SSD, what's a good enclosure to put one in?

Confirming that my OEM 8.1 upgraded to 10 with no activation issues. Should be the same for 7.
