Hi,

I am trying to backup my files from HDD to USB
So I booted up into OPENDOS,

However it will only let me copy files from my HDD and not subfolders and files within these subfolders.

For example if I enter my USB drive and then try:
xcopy d:\photos\ /s
It will copy all the files inside it but not the subfolders, it is jus ignoring the /s switch.

Howevr if I do something like:
xcopy a:\ /s
I will copy all subfolders from there but the /s switch isn't working when trying to copy from the Hard Drive, any reason why?

Download Puppy Linux for easy copying of files and folders.

UBCD just seems useless rofl.

Ive read two posts and both say use some other program NOT found on this "Ultimate" boot cd.
