Jim, I used xxcopy.exe e:*.* f:e_stuff_2006_02_08 /s /h /k (it seems xxcopy /? has different switches than xcopy).
Where is the log file that's created Wayne? I might look at it and copy the failed ones. Given that I booted from D and ran the program from there, one wouldn't think that it would affect E or F in any way... would one? ----- Original Message ----- From: "James Button" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Err! > xxcopy from? to? options? > > JimB > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Al Christie" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Thursday, February 09, 2006 6:34 AM > Subject: Re: HARD:New drive set up > > > > Well - a week and a half later.
