One of the main issues in shifting info between hard drives is the path name length. If you have nested folders within folders the UNC can exceed the 256 character limit. For the few occaisons I've been afflicted with this I've basically had a big cleanup of the source drive and then shifted folders complete from there from deeper within the nested group.
Means you can't quite duplicate the exact layout of the drive in it's new home but I normally find it needs a bit of sorting out anyway so it's a worth while exercerise albeit a bit time consuming.
