Hi all,
windows 7 killed itself for the first time on my computer to the point where windows fails to start. After looking around in the recovery options I was able to get a command prompt up and running and began to copy my files to an external drive.

The problem I'm having is that the command prompt will copy all of the files till it gets to a big file (around 123mb) where it will the freeze. It'll show the file it had attempted to copy and viewing the drive the file will actually be there, but after that it does nothing and doesn't allow input. I really have no idea what would cause this. I've switched out external drives and nothing changed.

Here's the code:  Xcopy documents h:\backup /s

any HELP would be awesome!!
Thanks!!!

If your goal is trying to recover files, Why don't you do it an easier way. Boot the computer to another (GOOD) operating system, and use the other OP to copy your data.
One of the easiest is Barts PE.

Check your RAM.

Shutdown all startup programs not needed.  ( start ,run [ msconfig ], click startup and disable all programs not needed.   Buy more Ram?
