September 29, 201213 yr Hi everyone,I have developed a script to create a bootable USB-hosted SDHC to allow installation of both XP 32-bit and XP 64-bit on machines that I have at various locations (RMPartUSB and WinNTSetup2_x86 developers, thank you!).However, there was one thing that really caused a nuisance, and that was the final xcopy to the SDHC.I found that my usual xcopy /c /h /e /q /k /r /o /y didn't work, xcopy /h /e did.I hope this helps anyone else who gets stuck with xcopy switches.
