Does the bars show up if you open the picture directly from the network hard drive (before transferring to the other computer)?

I transferred photos from my Mac to a Windows external network hard drive. I then transferred the photos to my new Windows 8 Lenovo desktop computer. Some photos have color bar across the bottom of the photos. Photos were taken from a Canon digital camera.

2014-03-23T16:29:20+00:00 Update: I was able to copy the original items over from the original Mac hard drive so that the solved the problem.
However, for the photos that were on my Windows hard drive, I decided to move them from a folder to its root folder. i.e. Folder 3-10-2013 is inside folder 2013. This caused many photos to have bars in them. So now my login screen photo, which didn't have bars, now has a bar on the bottom. So frustrating. Why is Windows creating these bars just from moving pictures. I didn't copy this time since it's a folder within a folder.

2014-03-28T21:35:41+00:00 I have the same problem but it only happens when I save pictures from my library into a flash drive. At first I thought it was my flash drive but I tried it with two other computers and none of those files were corrupted. How can I fix this?
