So,
I'm trying move around 60GB of stuff from an external USB drive to my new MBP. This includes 4GB VMware images, thousands of tiny files, etc.
From the finder, I select the USB drive, then the source folder, right click, and choose "copy". Then I navigate to the documents directory and choose "paste". The finder says "preparing to copy 583 files" (not the exact number) and I walk away for an hour.
I come back, and nothing has changed. I "force quit" the finder. What am I doing wrong? What is the better way to move thousands of files?
Thanks,
Robert
