I've copied cca 180 GB using xcopy SRC DST /C /E /Q
on Windows 10. The Files are mostly video files and/or presentations (ppt/pptx/pdf). I've noticed strange behavior: some of the copied files (2133 of 9268) has another checksum that original files. This means that the content of file have been changed during copy. I've checked several of those different files using WinMerge and seems that only tiny part of file were changed (see screenshot). I was first assumed that this part belongs to some metadata of file (owner, create date etc.) but then I realized that metadata are not stored in file itself. Why this happened? Can I somehow check if those files are the same (Seems like they are e.g. when I play video I see no difference)? Thanks
PS: I've used xcopy because first time when I've tried copy those files using totalcmd or explorer I get some errors and I've to press retry to skip or try again.
PPS: All files has the same size. I've also noticed hat several files in DST were only composed of ASCII 0 characters. I've recopied those files again using totacmd with no problems.
/C
switch. Computers don't just throw errors randomly, errors indicate a problem./C
will do this for me. I do not understand why there were errors cause both hdd are relatively new.
