Copying files in Windows 7
When I copy files in Windows 7 to a network drive, first of all it takes forever, but when it completes I find that it never actually copied over any of the files. Then I copy again and it takes forever again and then it does copy over them. It reminds me of the time my friend was trying to copy over his WoW folder in Windows Vista and it was pretending like it was copying but never actually did, I could never figure it out. Keep in mind, I am not a Vista or Windows 7 users, only Windows XP. All this seems greek to me. On Windows XP when I tell it to copy and overwrite a file it does.

Hello,Windows 7 has some features which may slow the Network performance and you can consider turn off them as a test if mklink still not work:1. Auto-tuningClick StartInput cmd, Right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as Administrator.If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabledThis command disables the Receive Window Auto-Tuning feature. 2. Remote Differential Compression (RDC) -------------------Start>>Control Panel>>Programs and FeaturesClick on ‘Turn windows features on or off’ on the left side of the screenUnchecked ‘Remote Differential Compression’ Pls restart the computer and test the issue again.Thomas77

Hello,Does the problem still happen after turning off autotuninglevel? If the problem still happens, installing another driver for your network card.Thomas77
