Windows uses xcopy, and you can only use xxcopy if you boot to a Windows
boot CD that has that tool.
You'll need to run the copy command.
e.g.
fdisk -l (see what you have)
mkdir /mnt/bigUSB (on your destination hard drive)
mkdir /mnt/bigUSB/friendStuff
ntfs-3g /dev/sda /mnt/bigUSB (assuming that sda is the hard drive you
wanna copy)
Now you'll need to use the cp command
e.g.
cd /mnt/friendsHDD
cp -r * /mnt/friendsHDD /mnt/bigUSB/friendStuff
Does that make sense?
If you use Knoppix, a lot of this mounting stuff should be taken care of
automagically.
