There's no DOS in XP, but there is a 32-bit command console.

Open a console window and type

xcopy /?

That will give you all the details on how to use the xcopy command.
The /D switch does exactly what you want.

Presumably you mean the Command Prompt, not DOS. DOS
is an operating system, same as Windows or Linux.

Your best bet is probably xxcopy.exe. You can download it from
several sites.
