Problem with computer settings ?

<p>Howdy, I have Win 7 PRO and am trying to send large number of photos from one external hard drive to another. But, when I attempt to proceed with this, the second drive does not appear in the (send to) panel. Yet, it does show as part of the "computer" panel...when prompted. I've never experienced this phenomenon on any of my previous computers.....and hoping for someone to chime in with a tweak. Thanks in advance.<br>

<p>Les, one possibility is your hard drive power options settings - they might be in sleep mode after some predetermined idle time and causing it not to appear in certain applications until it's powered up. </p>

<p>Try checking these power settings in the control panel. This is a screenshot from Windows 8.1 but 7 should be similar. </p>

Leszek,

Why not just Copy and Paste the

files as a group?

<p>The drive will wake up when you open it in Windows Explorer to view, copy or paste files. You don't need a special application. If you know where the original files are located, copy and paste them to the new drive. Wait until the operation is complete before deleting the original files (if that's your intention). This is safer than a "move" operation, which copies and deletes in the same operation. However, "move" in windows explorer only deletes the original within the same drive letter, not between drives.</p>

<p>You could manually add your own shortcut to the folder in which sendto shortcuts reside. On windows 7 it should be %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo</p>
