On a sort of related note (For Mateusz) would it be possible to include XCOPY.EXE on the new all_cd.iso? I can't telll you how many times I have needed XCOPY right off the bat only and because of other issues have not been able to install it and had to "re-burn" a modified CD. I have one more

Re: [Freedos-user] XCOPY

Great Ghost only copies to like file systems fat16 to fat16 or fat32 to fat32. So if you want to move from fat16 to fat32 you can use xcopy; it doesn't care. cheers DS On Tue, 26 Jan 2016 20:31:04 -0600 Rugxulo writes: > Hi, > > On Mon, Jan 18, 2016 at 1:44 PM, Dale E

I wonder will xwcopy copy system and hidden files as well. If it does it could replace Ghost for making backup copies. cheers DS On Mon, 18 Jan 2016 09:11:13 +0100 daniele writes: > Xwcopy works perfectly! > thank you > Il 15/gen/2016 06:50, "Rugxulo"

Re: [Freedos-user] XCOPY

Does /K make it copy system and hidden files. Normal xcopy ignores them. You have to changes the attributes first then change them back to get a working copy. A real pain. cheers DS On Mon, 18 Jan 2016 11:48:48 -0600 Rugxulo writes: > Hi, > > On Mon, Jan 18, 2016 at 9:31

I have trawled for a solution but remain mystified, and I have been a basic user of basic DOS for a few years. In the past I used XCopy successfully on a regular basis to copy the contents of the Owner\My Documents folder, with the d/ switch blank so that only changed files would be overwritten,

Hi LimeyDi, Notice that in an attempt to figure this out I inserted underscores between folder name words, but with or without these, I get either too many parameters or invalid path. A colleague suggested inserting ~ after the 7th letter of a folder name (Backup\My_Docu~\ for example) but
