Well I got my new HD/install of Windows up and running smooth now...only one persistent problem though...

[Tessian]

<div style='font: 11pt Dominion; text-align: left; '>One folder, out of the hundreds that I copied back and forth from my old HD's to my new one and then to different partitions on said hard drive is refusing to be copied a 2nd time. Any file in this folder, and only this folder, gives me an "access denied, may be in use" error when I attempt to copy it. This happens with the copy of the folder on my new HD as well as the one that's still on the old one (I hooked them back up because eventually once everything settles down I'll turn them into a RAID array). I don't know what the hell is keeping it from copying or why it let me make the first copy before. I've tried copying them in Safe mode and got the same result so it can't be in use. The folder just contains picture files and a few videos-- not even anything I normally use, it's just old stuff from my web building days I don't want to part with.

Anyone got any ideas?</div>
