First - there is a limit to the length of the full name of any file, and you are adding at least 19 characters to every files name try xxcopy.exe e:*.* f /s /h /k
secondly - you are copying to wherever you are within the directory structure of your OS? partition - be nice and add in the drive spec and indicate to start at the root directory for both source and destination as per xxcopy.exe e:\*.* d:\f /s /h /k Now - are there any applications, utilities, or services that run from drive E, or use drive E for their files. if so you may wish to stop them. or - having checked the log, just ignore the fact that their files wouldn't copy ( e.g. the OS creates some files in your user (profile) area when you logon- and doesn't release them till you loggoff) ( It does the same sort of thing with log files in it's areas when you boot, and only closes them at shutdown) JimB ----- Original Message ----- From: "Al Christie" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, February 09, 2006 3:36 PM Subject: Re: HARD:New drive set up > 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?
