Hi
This is a weird one, I don't find any reference to "sync all format error." anyplace on the net, except this forum, and the Techno Lapo forum, (also your question).
I can't find this listed as a Windows error message.
Does it do this for every file in the folder, or a certain percentage like one in ten etc?
Does it do it for any specific file type?
Are you trying to move the files one at a time or in batches?
I assume that you were able to copy the entire folder with all the files in it to the new computer without any error messages?
Were these copied from a USB External hard drive?
What are the steps that your are having to do in order to get the files to move?
And do you still have the original files on the old computer available?
Are they all in one folder on the old computer, or external hard drive prior to moving them or in various locations?
What operating system is on the old computer?
I don't know if this will help but the more information we have the better.
What I would try is to make a new folder, on the new computer, copy some of the files from the backup drive to it, in a batch, i.e. copy 6 files (not the whole folder at once).
Then see if you can copy these files to new locations without getting the error messages.
Also try copying the same files you are having a problem with directly from the back up drive to where you want them on the new computer and see if you still get the errors?
