How To Copy Files Over?
Posted: Mon Mar 02, 2009 8:47 am
Hi,
I need to backup some directories from my HDD to my USB pen.
It won't let me backup directories from the recovery console as it only lets me do it one file at a time.
Will UBCD allow me to do this?
I can boot into UBCD fine but have no idea on how to use it, if somebody could guide me on which option to select then I can copy some of my needed folders over from c:\ to J:\
EDIT: OK I have searched and it seems FreeDOS may be the program to do this.
I was able to get into FreeDOS via DOS/LINUX bootdisks and then selecting FreeDOS.
The program would then load after a series of prompts which i just let timeout.
Then the command line would be:
Q:\>
I realise I could use xcopy from here to copy folders but how do I access my C drive or my J drive (USB pen)
when i try:
dir c:\
it says the drive c:\ cannot be found.
Any ideas?
