# What do Queued, Copying, Checking and Waiting for the drive mean in Data Parking?

They're the stages each moving item goes through, shown right on its row in the source pane:

- **Queued** — waiting for a free transfer slot.
- **Copying** — the data is being copied to the destination.
- **Checking** — the copy is being checked before the original is removed.
- **Waiting for the drive** — the destination drive went away; the move resumes when it's reconnected.
- **Failed** — with a short reason; your original is untouched.

A brief green check appears when an item finishes, then the row clears.
