Please add your comments below the greater than marks (>). It makes it hard
to find the new comments.

I do not understand why or even how you managed to delete the files you
copied from the old location from the new location at the same time you
deleted the files at the old location.

The correct way is Open Windows Explorer. Navigate to the old location,
select the folder(s), and files you want to copy. Then on the Edit menu,
Copy (or you press Ctrl+C). Navigate to the new location, Edit menu, Paste.
(or you press Ctrl+V).

That will make copies of the files. Be sure that where you go to delete to
old files that you do not have to newly copied file selected, press Delete.
That will move the deleted files into the Recycle bin (if there is enough
room).

If you use Cut, that copies the files to the new location and deletes them
from the old location in the same action. It is safer to Copy then delete
after you have confirmed the files transferred OK.

Hello, Wallace,

English must not be your first language.

When you go to reply, go to the bottom of the message press the Enter key, that will get you started at the first line after the message.

Press the Enter key to make paragraphs to make the message easier to read. Break up long sentences into smaller sentences.

Sorry for the lesson in ethics. It is hard to understand what you are trying to say.

I frankly do not know what happened, It is not something I have ever heard of.

When you use the term "Microsoft media" do you mean Microsoft Media Center Edition 2005?

If so, that is a part of the Operating System. It can not be moved. It can only be destroyed.

I think you need to find a Computer Service Technician where you live.
You need to explain to that Technician exactly what you wish to do, let him/her teach you what needs to be done.

And find a Technician that speaks your first language.
