I bought my step daughter a 190 gb external drive to transfer files off of her Dell computer. I thought I could just drag the entire c drive to the new drive and it would copy but no dice. I had to copy various folders over.
How do I just copy the entire drive over? Its only 30 gb.
Thanks

Don’t do it. There are hidden files that won’t work. C: usually has system files and applications.
Best thing to do is to use a program to transfer a disk to disk.
You can also use window’s backup and restore program.
1) Use the backup program to backup c:.
2) The restore the backup onto the new drive.
