Solve : Transfer Files Using DOS?

Answer»

Hi, Ia new here and though that maybe you'll could help. So here goes I have MS Windows ME installed on my C:\ Drive (4GB Master) and I have some other files on ANOTHER drive D:\ (40GB Primary Slave). Now I want to clan install Windows XP. That is why I will format my c:\ drive using format c:\ through DOS using a Windows ME Satrtup Floppy Disk. Now after that I want to shift a folder from my D:\ drive called suppose new to my C:\ Drive in a folder called New. Now I will create a folder New usind MD c:\new when I boot from the floppy. But here COMES the problem how do I shift all subfolder in the D:\New to the C:\New folder. I have many subfolder within the d:\new folder. WHENEVER I try using COPY D:\NEW\*.* C:\NEW only the files with extensions are copied ie no subfolders are copied. I cannot use the XCOPY command as it says bad command or file name and also smardrv also doesnt work as I think I'm loading from The Windows ME Startup Disk and these features are not available there. Hope someone could help me.   Tushar Manik

Once you have installed Win XP to your C:\ drive, GO to the Dos prompt and key in the following:

C:\> xcopy /s d:\new\*.* c:\new

and 'enter'
