I've running Windows XP Home sp1a
I have a lot of HD space. two drives, partitioned into 5 X 20GB partitions.
Total of 100GB.
I like to keep a ready, uncompressed backup of my OS drive (C. I try to
simply create a directory on my F: drive and copy everything on my C: drive
into it, excepting the Recycle Bin, of course. My fixed Permanant Swap File
is on D: drive.
The problem I get is that the copy process comes across a file which denies
access and the whole process aborts. I then try this in Safe mode. Same
problem. I then try this at a command prompt in safe mode and the process
completes, BUT I am not getting copies of many files; The difference between
the volumes of data is 35MB, 71 files and 38 directories. I saw a lot of
"access denied" scroll up my screen during the copy process.
Is there any way that I can drag-and-drop ALL of these files to back them up
without the system balking at certain files and aborting?
If not, is it possible to get them ALL from a SafeMode/Command Prompt?
Thank you
Chuck
