Needed: Photo Finding Software

Freeware or donateware would be preferable, but at this point, a paid
for program would be fine. I know Verbatim has a DVD that finds the
files and puts them on the DVD but there are more gigs than a single DVD
holds.

I'd even settle for just the jpg and tif files being found and moved or
copied.

If you know the extensions, even Windows Explorer can do the job IIRC.
Search for *.jpg, *.tif etc, and drag the results to wherever you want
them.

You don't even have to drag. Just ctrl + A ctrl C, then at your
destination ctrl + v

Should have mentioned that I tried that first. You can find all the
files on each disk, but Windows Explorer freezes when trying to copy
and paste probably 38G of data. I suppose I could do it in sections;
you would have to write down every point in the list, then paste and
then comeback and find that exact list point, etc.

This is for a friend and I can't afford to spend a lot of time on it
at the moment, so I was hoping for a more automated solution.


Did you try folder by folder.

How long did you wait? Might just be darn slow because of swapping all
the time. Did you try running the copy over night?

The find utility works great for that kind of job. Standard with any
unixoid OS, but also available for free for Windows from several
sources, including Cygwin and Microsoft's own Services for Unix package.
