Hi all,

I've been through the help menus and fiddled with the paralel options io nthe donation edition. but I can't figure this one out. Is it possible to set FFS to lock an entire drive when it's being copied to?

Say I want to copy some files from "A:\Something" to "B:\Folder1\SubFolder1", and some other files from "C:\Whatever" to "B:\Folder2\SubFolder2". Can I set both operations going, but have FFS wait until the former has ended to start the latter?

I don't know if it's a quirk of my computer, or universal truth, but it seems that running both concurrently takes much longer than running them one after the other.

I'm a filmmaker, so I find myself copying large amounts of data between drives for various reasons pretty much weekly.

Cheers for any pointers!

Safe to assume no-one knows a way to do this?
