Insufficient Memory During Data Transfer

[David]

I am receiving an Insufficient memory error during a batch file data
transfer. I am trying to transfer all the data from one hard drive to
another hard drive through the network. This method has always worked for
me before, but lately the batch file has been halted due to the insufficient
memory error. Here is the code of my batch file.

c:
cd\
xcopy *.* E:\ /c /e /h /y /v
pause

E: being a mapped network drive. Has anyone seen this before or know how to
fix this? Do I need to run a memory command in the batch file first to
extend the memory?

Are you sure the bat file is running under CMD.exe and NOT command.com?
I've had that cause issues before.

 

[David]

Nope it's cmd.

Humm!!!. You wouldn't happen to be trying to move a 4+ gig file to a
Fat32 disk?

 

[David]

That is possible, but it would't be all in one big file.

Just guessing now. How about using the " /G " switch

What is /G I don't see it in the xcopy /? menu.
