I need to swap some files from one harddrive to another.
I need to know if I have good files on the drive I'm wrighting to if I can copy from the other hard drive and paste them. The only problem is there are duplicate files. I would rather keep the files that are on there entact as they are better quality.
If I paste them and it asks me if I want to overwright the files. That will copy over the files that are the same but what about the files that are different?
And where is the no to all button?????

You want a file sync utility. There are a lot out there and I'm sure you'll get some good recommendations. I use the one that comes with powerdesk 6. It's ok but does sometimes choke if you're comparing 10's of thousands of files. It gives you many options such as "move newer", "copy older", etc. But I'm sure there are better utilities out there. I've heard laplink is good but I've never really played with it.

Edit - like your sig - finally saw Vampire Hunter D. Is the sequel as good?

thanks for the link nn step. In that link they had a moving background. I've always wondered how to do that.
