one of our employees left the company so i had to move her administrative data to another employees computer. We keep a folder on c: called “Access” which contains database files. i copied this folder onto a usb hard drive (which i think may be bad), went to the other employees computer and pasted the folder on to it. after getting everything moved i ask her to test out the database and we find out that 2 database files are missing. i checked the folder size of the access folder on the original computer and it matches the one i pasted on the usb drive. if that drive is bad is it possible for it to corrupt the source folder that i originally copied from the first computer?
doesnt make sense because she was using these databases on that original computers before i came over there to copy and past it, and now there all of a sudden gone. could my copy / pasting destroy the original content?
