what are you trying to do here?
where are you copying file to?
if windows detects tampering with certain files in the system directory, it will delete it and replace with the correct version

It copies across fine but as soon as I put the new SSD back into the laptop it repairs the SSD and when it boots into windows the folder that had the data from the windows 7 image have been deleted.
