Stan, xxcopy has saved my butt on many occasions. For instance I copied
my working WinMe partition to a WinMe
partition that I screwed up by experimenting. It worked fine. I don't
have a clue on why or where your missing drive
space went but I would bet that it had something to do with System
Works. Keep an eye on that. Good Luck.
