I have found this does happen when there is something corrupted.
Was the node you copied the data from fully synced? Do you still have the files?

If so you can remove the block files and copy them back. You can then start bitcoin with reindex and it should scan through everything and get you back to where you were.

Depending on the speed of your drives & PC it can take a while.

If it has been downloading for a while a reindex is probably not going to work.
