gamehead200 Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 I think XCOPY is to copy entire directories (meaning folders) and COPY is to copy files... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjdotcom Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 The xcopy commands also copies the hidden files, basically copy the whole directory, subfolders and all the files within itTry this one more useful:Use the command xcopy to copy the files and subfolders from the Windows XP with SP1 integrated installation CD to the E:\i386 folder. For example, if D: is your CD-ROM drive, type the following:xcopy /E /I /V D:\i386 E:\i386From the Microsoft Windows XP Hotfix Installation and Deployment Guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
