Question

why we cant get the data till it copied..for example if file copied for 99% and we stopped there ..all the data is lost...why cant we retrieve upto dat percent?

Answer 1

if the copying is interrupted.. file will be stay in original source

Answer 2

Say you were getting a Xerox, & the Xerox machine broke down.. Would you loose the original document??

Even if you were moving & interrupted, what the OS does is that it starts  a copy, then deletes the original.So in the middle of a "move" if the computer concked off, you still have your data..

When you give a copy command, & then cancel it, the whole command is canceled. your OS assumes that you have changed your mind & do not want a copy now. So it deletes whatever it had copied till that point.

the reason the OS does not allow for a partial save is because most of the files would be incomplete & would not work properly, & hence useless. SO why waste space? Yet we do have an option where sometimes when the OS slips, we get scrap files.. Happens mostly with DOC files & sometimes the files have some data, but most of the times, they don't work..

Answer 3

It is because the file remains from where u are copying it.So, the full files cannot be copied.
