I have found an alternative solution to Killcopy that I think I like a little better. It's called Teracopy and it does pretty much what Killcopy does, but it replaces the windows built in copy/paste feature with its own so all you have to do is your usual copy and paste and it does the copy for you. Both are good options at this point. I wished I could alter this problem natively, but at least there's a workaround. Another thing I'd like to fix is that lacking volume mixer.

Oh! I'd like to thank velocity37 for the killcopy suggestion. As an alternative it works wonders!

I have the same problem!!!! Did you solve it?!

@quer94

I haven't exactly solved it, but I just installed win7 on my better laptop just yesterday and got a chance to try it again with the killcopy suggestion from velocity37.

I would have liked to see some way to correct this natively, but killcopy lets you right click and select 'Killcopy to..." and select the destination which then lets you use the killcopy interface and overwrite the files without any issue. Pretty nice I have to admit.

@AndyAKratz Nice, i want to move a 2 gig file, and there's 300 gig left.. it simply can't! but can i loose any data with that program?

[AndyAKratz]

@quer94 Not to my knowledge. I have tested this theory with fewer files and it seems to work just as it would in, say, Windows XP. In other words replacing old with new and adding the 'not already existing' files.

You should not lose any data at all during the transfer, but if you feel uncomfortable with it, just run a full scandisk and that should rule out any problems you might have if there were to be any. I doubt you should have any trouble with it, though.

@queer94 mac sucks, mac users suck,

[quer94]

@AndyAKratz The problem is windows.. it works fine on the XP! I think I'll get a mac ;)

@velocity37
