Ok, this drive died recently and I would like to move as much as possible before tossing it.

It spins up fine and hums nicely but Windows 10 just doesn't like it.

When I go into DOS (CMD as admin), I can see all my files and directory structures but I cannot copy or move anything to another disk. As you can tell from my xcopy attempt below 99.99% of my data was NOT moved.

Any ideas?

Code:
C:\WINDOWS\system32>n:

N:\>dir
Volume in drive N is 6.  Seagate1
Volume Serial Number is A404-D26B

Directory of N:\

I don't get it
your problem is with the source drive (n) or with the destination drive (m) ?

The source drive (n). The destination drive (m) is brand new.

It is strange. Now, I can't do a directory of all the subfolders in (n). I had another drive which "went bad" too and I find it too coincidental that I never had a problem with my 8 drives for 3-4 years until, all of a sudden two drives disappeared when I upgraded to Windows 10.

Work with the drive outside the Win environment. Check SMART, check mechanics via software with something like MHDD, and so on.

Try mounting the drives from a Ubuntu Live CD.

SMART tools include CrystalDiskInfo (Windows) or smartmontools (Linux). Look for reallocated, pending, or uncorrectable sectors.

I was able to see the entire directory structure of my "bad" Seagate 2TB HDD from UBUNTU! The "partitions" looks a bit weird though when compared to other HDDs on my system. It showed 4 partitions, 2 of which were both 2TB in size.

Only one of those 2TB partitions was accessible via ubuntu and, from there, I was able to "see" a listing of all files and directories but I was unable to move those files to another disk due to some sort of splice error. When I try to copy similarly sized files from 2 other HDDs, it works fine. So, something is wrong with this particular disks partition table or something?

I'm not sure what to do next actually...

Could we see the partitions in a disc editor, eg DMDE (freeware)?

Hmmmm... do you mean, from Windows? I'm not sure that will work because Windows can't see this drive as well as ubuntu. When I google DMDE, I only see a windows download.

DMDE is a disc editor. A drive does not need to be mounted in order for DMDE to work with it. In fact it is often better that the OS does not mount it.

That makes sense but I'm not sure how to go about it then.

If I download the Windows version, how do I stop windows from mounting the drive before I run DMDE?

Should I run DMDE under ubuntu? If so, do I download that "linux" version or something else?

Just run DMDE under Windows and show us the Partitions window.

If you wish to prevent Windows from mounting the volumes, then click the MBR On/Off button. This will invalidate the 55 AA signature at the end of sector 0.

That's LBA 9. We need to see LBA 0.

If you select Mode-> Hex/Text, you will probably see that LBA 9 is filled with "BAD ".

Can you connect the drive to a SATA port rather than a USB-SATA bridge?

Can you see the SMART data?
