[QUOTE="cradom, post: 1620664, member: 305283"] You can do this in Terminal. Say you have a folder full of files. You can use the cp command. You have to know exactly where the folder is and exactly where the drive is you're copying to. For example: In your Home folder is a folder named stuff you need to copy. It's going to a drive named newdrive. You would open Terminal and type: cp -R stuff /Volumes/newdrive/stuff The -R switch tells cp not to stop if there is an error like Finder does. It also makes cp copy everything in that folder, and subfolders, etc. If this is a little over your head you might want to get local help from someone knowledgeable in Terminal and/or linux. [/QUOTE]
