I've encountered a strange problem, have been running Windows 7 for a few years, recently decided to move over to Windows 8 but rather than upgrade I've done a fresh install on a new SSD. There's a couple reasons for this, if I hate 8 I can easily go back to 7 and I also retain the 7 install so I can boot it up and get any files I've missed or find I need at a later date.
There's a total of 4 HDD's in the PC, the boot drive and 3 other data drives. Both OS's have full access to the 3 other drives and I've made the drive letters all the same as well.
Here's where it gets strange, I boot back into Win 7 to retrieve some files, put them on any of the three other drives, shut down and swap SSD drives, boot back into Win 8. I go looking for the files I've just put on let's say the D: drive, but they're gone. Thinking I've somehow screwed up, I shut down 8, boot back into 7 and do it again, this time making absolute certain they're there. Shut down 7, boot back into 8, go to get the files and they're gone again.
Windows 8 seems to notice there's new files that it didn't put there so it removes them. This has also occurred with a dos created .TIB backup file of the old Windows 7 install that I made so I could just access the contents of my Win 7 install without actually having to boot back into it.
Has anyone got any idea what awesome new feature of Windows 8 is seeing these files and nuking them?
