Can't copy "Documents and settings" to 2nd HD !

[RJK]

When I drag C:\Documents and Settings to a different drive, I get "Cannot
copy NTUSER" etc.

Surely I haven't got to wade through the above directory manually, to back
up what I want ?

TIA, regards, Richard

Install xp cd,other options,open file transfer service,select the files,
settings you want it to save,save to a new folder you create,once thru,
move the folder to a cd,or move to other drive.

C:\Documents and Settings folder is a system folder. This is a dynamic
folder. I see no reason for moving this folder. My Documents can be
moved using the move button on the properties page.
Drag and Drop is a Move function. You can _Copy and Paste_ but not
_Move_ system folders and files.
