I was successfully able to move the blocks to a Windows 10 Tech Preview virtual machine.
I tried on several different Debian and Ubuntu distros and all my attempts failed.
Hello- Cortana. How much bitcoin is in my wallet?
Topic: Moving the blocks (Read 2819 times)
I'm beginning to think I've encountered a bug in XFCE or core version 9.4.0 and 9.3.0
I've tried moving the blocks [blocks folder] - returns:
I've tried initializing with bootstrap.dat
This imports blocks from disk- then after a rescan the core fails with no error message.
Any ideas?

[...]Basically 0.10.0rc3 = 0.9.4 the Final release[...]
This is not correct. 0.9.4 fixed an issue with OpenSSL which affected mainly the Ubuntu PPA. https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/41f94edf221019a6c4b8f78c2b17c389442f546e/doc/release-notes.md
0.10.0RC3 introduces more features i.e. "headers first". Preliminary release notes: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/0.10/doc/release-notes.md
Additionally RC stands for Release candidate, so it's not a final release.
It does seem odd you are having the problem because (as you noted) it is possible.
You might just trying running 0.10.0rc3 and re-download the blockchain. It will in all likelihood be much faster than banging your head against the wall on this more. ;-)

He said he tried 0.9.4 (this version came out for Ubuntu only at the moment and coming soon for Windows) , Basically 0.10.0rc3 = 0.9.4 the Final release . so I don't think it will change anything .
Delete all the downloaded blocks & Try downloading the torrent Bootstrap file and place it on the Bitcoin Data Directory and run your wallet again . It should Import from the disk just fine and probably start synchrozning with the network if some blocks missing .

Did you also move the chainstate folder?

I've tried it now on 9.4.0 too.
Why am I having such difficulty moving the blockchain?
It seems like I did this a few months ago without an issue.

I've tried moving over the chainstate folder
I've tried moving every file/folder over except wallet.dat
Reindexing still fails -

Which Bitcoin Core version are you using?
I'm creating a new bitcoin-qt installation on a Linux Mint/ubuntu virtual machine.
I've tried moving the blocks folder over without success
will begin reindexing on the disk and then it fails around week 40
What am I doing wrong?
This is the failure:
