Hi. I can't comment on what's faster, but here's a partial answer on
instructions for starters.
1. One way to get to the command line is Run cmd.
2. Type: help xcopy.
See also http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb491035.aspx or
search for xcopy in your favorite search engine.
Actually I believe it is xcopy32.
Back in 95-ME I used to use a command line xcopy32 command to mirror
a new Harddrive.
However if you are not doing a mirror it is faster to use copy within
explorer. Do not use move. It slows it down by a ton.

Most laptops have a power supply that is also a power transformer
that converts 120-240 VAC into 18 (aprox.) VDC which then plugs into
your laptop.

Actually it has been around a long time.
Your power supply on your desktop has always been able of doing the
same things. Look at it, it has a switch on it for 110-240. All it
took was a different cord, with the correct end on it for the plug in the wall.
Many of our toys actually use DC

I do not use it all anymore. I would never recommend it at all.

Use explorer or one of the after market shells to do this.

I followed your advice about unplugging the USB devices. I also
unplugged the power supply even tho some were switched off. As I
plugged them back in, some became active and some didn't so I repeated
the operation for the ones that were still not active. Eventually all
became active again.
