Comparing files in sub-directories

I have the same sub-directory on two different hard drives. The sub-directory
on each hard drive has several sub-directories also. Each of these
sub-directory contains hundreds of text files. I want to combine all of the
files into one sub-directory on one hard drive.

My problem is, I have made changes to the text files on both drives, but not
with any consistency, so drive c: has some updated files, and drive d: has
some updated files (but not necessarily the same updated files).

How can I do a compare of the files on each of these text files on the two
different directories, and either overwrite the older files, or flag them to
be looked at to then overwrite them?

Otherwise, I will have to look at each file individually to see if it has
been edited.

Thanks for any help you can offer.
 
Thanks, guys for the helpful information. The suggestions seem to be the
solution to my problem.

Have a great Memorial Day Weekend.
