xcopy /O probelm

[Satheesh]

If we use xcopy /O to copy the files from one drive
another, it errors out and after that we can not access
the destination volume anymore. It gives the error "access
denied" and if we check the user rights for this volume,
it seems to be wiped out. The problem doesnt exist if we
use the command to copy within the same physical disk.
Any ideas ?
Thanks,

I think you'll be better off with scopy (free) from the reskit:-

I suspect XCOPY's /o and /x switches were an afterthought as they as
not documented in the Win2000 GUI help.
