I still can't create this new folder/icon .... 

 

I am losing hope to be able to get back into my work computer .... is there any hope? Have any of you ever experienced anything like this?? Its been weeks and still no improvement and I am losing a lot of work

I have never seen this problem before, no way to manipulate the windows environment, as you have. 

Try again to name the new Directory, should look like,    /mnt/sda1/bcup1   /mnt/sdb1/bcup1  (no spaces)

 

Edit. modified instruction.  /mnt/sda1/bcup1

[Lexy610]

Ok it worked .... I now have a folder/icon thats says bcup1

[Lexy610]

So the next step you have typed to drag the my doc folder (mine says my doc not my doc settings) to the folder/icon I just created right?

Yes.

In the sda1 window.Left click (and hold) on the my doc  > Drag it on top of the bcup1 icon in the sdb1 window,  (release button) > click Copy. 

Please post back.

 

Edit.

 

If you have a problem, please provide a screenshot.

Oh shoot .. I made a big mistake .....

 

I made that folder in sda1 not in sdb1 Once I clicked on the folder and dragged it to the top where I mistakeningly made the folder it started copying and then I realized I made the fold run the wrong window so I cancelled it .......

 

Going to redo the steps and make that folder in sdb1 instead .. once Im done should I delete the one I first made??

[Lexy610]

Should I make it .... mnt/sdb1 ?? Bc you typed mnt/sda1 .. think thats where I got confused

[iammykyl]

No, do not delete, it will do no harm being there.

Sorry, Yes. 

[Lexy610]

Ok got it ... in window sdb1 I now have a folder/icon named "bcup1" 

 

my next question is ... in window sda1 I have a folder named "documents and settings" and another folder named "my documents" 

which one do I drag to window sdb1 to copy?

[iammykyl]

First, drag the My Documents icon. 

[Lexy610]

K did it ... I clicked copy but didn't see it running like it was copying anything like it did b4 when I made the error ..

 

do I now do the same for the folder "documents and settings"?
