Hi All, I am currently trying to recover three hundred media files from a windows system that keeps rebooting. With Puppy fire-hydrant the machine ran for a long time without error. I could access the windows drive and the files I wish to recover. The usb drive was mounted and had read write permissions. the problem was I could only copy ONE file at a time..
Puppy 4.2 permits multiple copies. Open two windows, source and destination folders, select source files, drag across to destination window and specify copy.
For some strange reason, Puppy doesn't do it the usual gui copy & paste way.
Michael
