CDG HD to HD to CDG Failure

[Glenn&Cyndy]

i have 4 HD's on my computer. My 3-4000 CDG's are on 3 of them. When I tried to tidy things up I ran into this problem. CDg's will rip to HD and burn to CDG OK. When I take blocks of these files and copy paste them to one HD to another HD and then try to burn back to CDG I have mostly erors in the grafics and a few errors in the audio. The CDG disks are not usable. I have backed up my intire collection to the HD's and would like to move them all to 1 HD. Can any one help? I have tried this senario on diverant combinations of drives and come up with the same problem.

For any of you interested in the out come. I phone a freind today who is a tec.
He suggested to zip compress the files them copy pasre them. Well it worked. I used WinRar to compress them to .RAR files, best quality setting, then drag and dropped the .RAR files to the other HD, them extracted them to themselves. Burned back to CDG with a excellent quality finished product. Any other suggestions as to other ways to do this would be appreciated.

If you don't mind them being in different folders, seems like you could simply drag and drop entire folders to a single hard drive, and be done with it in a few minutes.

Hope you realize that CDG's run around 40-50mg each and at that rate, 4,000 of them will take up 160,000-200,000 mg. space.

Thats where we ran into the problem, when you just drag and drop the CDG's to another HD they will not burn back to CDG on a CD without errrors.

Sorry I guess I misunderstood.

I thought you had tried batch copy and paste which could have a different effect than dragging an entire folder which it would seem wouldn't impact the individual files in that folder.

Because I was moving files from 3 HD's I used Selected All, Copy-Paste to the 4th HD and dropped them all into the same folder. Each file contained 1 CD of its individual CDG files. The forth HD is a 250g External drive. I tried small batches of drag and drop to several diverant combinations of HD's and all failed [unusable because of errors] when it came to burning back to CDG disks. Do you have any idea why.

Thanks Glenn
