Mike, a couple of shots in the dark pending comments from others:

1- Supposedly you had/have each of the two operating systems in a separate
primary 'C' partition on the primary drive and the dual boot process
provides for one to be an active partition while the other is a hidden
partition. If that's the case I'm wondering why your note refers to a drive
'D'?

2- Do you recall which directory was identified as having a corrupt file, it
might provide a clue.

3- Did you run scandisk before copying?

4- Is everything FAT16 or are you moving between FAT16 and FAT32?

5- What software are you using for the dual boot? Bootmagic?

(PS. I don't know the answer to your question of how to show your name for
the group ... where is there a list of names?)
