    First of all the urgent question, how do you stop loops in command prompts? I dont know much about cmd. I was copying with robocopy and it keeps going "access is denied", "waiting 30 seconds", "retrying" repeat. Do i just click x and terminate? Is there a key to press to abort?

    Anyways i was following this post from this thread http://forum.notebookreview.com/sager-clevo/610052-ssd-hdd.html

    I was booted with a win7 disk, had command prompt open and was copying the user dir from ssd to hdd when it said access was denied for
    E:\users\paul\appdata\local\temp\~df110(etc etc)f6a3.TMP

    A long named tmp file and keeps retrying. Why is this happening and how do i prevent this?

    Try [CTRL] + [C]. That usually does the trick.

    Also, I'm pretty sure (it's been a while since I've done this) that it will only retry a certain amount of times before giving up and moving on. Did you definitely run this command (changed to reflect the right drives of course):

    yup 100% positive.

    maybe it would have stopped eventually but i had it running for a good 20 minutes, kept retrying. like i said it was some file in the appdata\local\temp folder

    does your account have to be an administrator account? or do i have to disable UAC?
