This is quite frankly doing my head in.
I managed to recover 101gb of data from a faulty hard drive and sits on my bench computer.
I've got a brand new hard drive and done a full reinstall of Windows 8 using the original recovery discs (this is a HP Pavilion G6).
Everything functions absolutely fine.
I then take the drive out after shutting down and plug it in via sata to usb dock to my bench computer and copy over the data to the c:/ root to avoid permission problems by accessing the user directory. Something that i've done countless times before.
I've now copied the 101gb of data 3 times to the laptop. Sometimes it just doesn't show up at all on boot of the laptop, sometimes things are corrupt.
I've ran a chkdsk and everytime it finds errors in the file system and repairs them. However, not all files are accessible on the laptop but they are on the bench machine.
It's had me mind boggled for days, could it perhaps be something to do with how Windows 8 never actually shuts down fully so expects to resume at a certain place on the drive?
