[QUOTE="boberonicus, post: 619612, member: 50315"] 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 [/QUOTE]
