I am simply trying to use TC to make a full backup copy of my C: drive (a new installation of WinXP); so that if I need to reinstall a clean copy of WinXP, I can simply do a copy from this backup and it would be mostly all configured. To be able to open, or view or copy the System Volume Information you would need to change the the access permissions because, as I think I told you in my previous message, it is only accessible to the system. In particular for System Restore. On the other hand, even if you could do so, backing up the System Volume Information would serve you no purpose because if you are going to install XP again, it will create/configure a new System Volume Information for each volume (drive or partition). Thanks for the info. Does that mean that I can have a clean reinstall of WinXP by copying back from the backup copy described above -- without the System Volume Informaiton files? So does the OS create/configure a new System Volume Informaiton ONLY IF I reinstall from the WinXP installation CD? Anyway, if you are curious and what to see what's inside, take a look at: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;309531 or http://www.theeldergeek.com/system_volume_information_folder1.htm or search Google for more links.

Then, if you want to get/send a mail, you have MM to mount a container with Mail and The Bat, and before you get MM connection you have to decrypt Dial-up Networking. Is that what we can all look forward to in the next version of Windows :-) -- Jeff Gaines Damerham Hampshire UK :Jeff_Gaines: Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

I appreciate your kind note of caution. But I resent Miguel's tone (and people like him) who jumps to conclusion and thinks he knows it all when he couldn't possibly have. -- Thanks in advance JM Using The Bat! 1.62r Under Windows 98 4.10 Build A Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Is that the ways it is? Or can I get around it? As Martin said, it depends on OS settings: if on the OS level is set that system files are hidden, then TC will obey to this rule (will not see them, although it will display them with an exclamation mark in the icon). So you would just have to change this OS setting to show system (or all) files and TC will be able to apply all actions on them it can, including copying. If by OS settings you mean TC's settings, it was sett to show hidden/system files and I can see them. I can't remember which file wasn't copying when I tried to copy the entire C drive before. But I am on the WinXP-Home computer now, and I can't even open the C:\System Volume Information directory/folder to see what files are in there. And when I tried to copy that directory, it doesn't nothing. When I do a Shift+Alt+Enter to calculate the disk space occupied by each directory, it shows the result for each directory EXCEPT the system Volume Information directory.
