Hello im trying to copy 2 hard drives to each other c&g,problem 3 diffrent poeple tell me difrent codes this is one xcopy c:\g:\/e/h/c/k but i get invalid code.I thought upgrading from 40/to 80gig would be easy nah.
Anyway if anyone can help, thanks Ronnie

Ronnie,

I think the mistake may be the fact the you've put a backslash after C: and after G: and there's no spaces. Here's an explanation of the code that you've been given.

XCOPY the C: drive onto the G: drive;
include all directories and subdirectories including empty ones (this is the /E switch);
include hidden and system files (this is the /H switch);
continue copying even if errors occur (this is the /C switch);
copy attributes and don't reset read-only files to be readable (this is the /K switch).

Sounds good to me. Wipe your G: drive clean if anything has already been copied over and then try it with some spaces and without the backslashes:

XCOPY C: G: /E /H /C /K

Let us know if that works.
