Simply selecting a file and choosing the copy action doesn't copy the file, it merely marks it as the file to be copied once you select a paste location. If you want a file taken off your USB drive and placed on your hard drive, use the "cut" function instead. Once you select cut, you'll notice the file's icon will lose a small amount of opacity, indicating that it is ready to be pasted somewhere else. Once you paste it on your hard drive, the file will be moved from your USB drive to the hard drive.
Copy Paste Works
Copy/Paste is different for displayed data (text & pictures) and file management (copying and moving files).
Normal copy/paste actually stores the content in a temporary resource called the clipboard. However, file management via copy/paste does not make a temporary backup of the file during the procedure.
The reason that your file you were copy/pasting from your USB drive failed to 'paste' is because you were actually copying the file from one drive to another. When the USB drive was removed, the original location of the file could no longer be found.
When you copy something, it could be text, images, or files, the copies are not saved in any file. They are stored in memory (RAM). That's why you lost any copied items in memory when you restart the computer, all RAM is cleared when you shut down.
That's also why you can copy and paste only 1 thing at a time. Whenever you copy something, the previous copied item is replaced with the new copied item and when you paste, it always pastes the last thing you copied.
As for why pasting is slower than copying, have you ever looked at drive or memory specs? Ever notice that there are separate specs for the read and write specs? That's because it's always faster to read data off a drive (when you copy something) and slower when the drive has to write data to a drive even if it only goes to memory first (when you paste).
You can't copy and paste a file. You can copy text, where it is placed in your clipboard then paste it into a document. You need to physically save the file from your usb drive onto your computers hard drive.
The info you select to copy remains on the drives' "clipboard" until it is pasted. So if you are copying something from a flash drive it stays on there until it is given the command to be pasted.
The act of copying really isn't copying, it's just tell the computer what needs to be copied. When "paste" is applied it actually starts the process of copying what you told it to copy onto it's destination. It's easier to think of copying as selecting and pasting as grabbing and moving.
Think of it like this. You have a slice of pizza in front of you and you want to move it from the box to your mouth. "Copying" is like laying your hand on the pizza, you know what you want to get but you haven't grabbed it yet. "Pasting" is the actual process of grabbing the pizza and putting it in your mouth. If I were to move the pizza away from your hand before you "pasted" it into your mouth you would be unable to move it to your mouth.
Does that make sense? I hope this helps! have a great day and don't eat your thumb drive
People have almost got it. When you copy something, it stores the address pointer (immadptr), and when you paste it, it looks to the address stored here for the data.
