    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?
    Im writing on my ipod. The prompt is still looping on my computer cuz i dont know what to do x_x

    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?

    Before you attempt to copy you should clear all files in the temp directory, then retry the copy.
    IF possible run windows disk cleanup or manually delete all entries in that directory.
    Try CTL-C to abort the problematic copy
