external hard drive

I have a friend that is a contract machine designer. He isusing SW 09 and having trouble with moving folders to an externalhard drive. He says when he works on files on his M6300 on theclients site and before he leaves he just copies the folder over tohis portable HD. When he opens the assy. parts are moved andfasteners all over the place. I have moved folders for when I dowork at home from work but my files are not as big. I haven't seenthis problem. Has anyone else? I suggested pack n go. He said thefiles are to big>SolidworksAdministration
