Copying at the DOS level with XCopy would lose your long filenames. I'd copy the disks within Linux (cp -R) and see how that goes. Be ready for Windoze to complain about the configuration changes due to drives changing, etc., but I think it should be able to sort itself out as long as the drive letters don't change. Anyone care to confirm/condemn any of this? Regards, Ozz.
