a: I remembered your comment that the c: drive had to be inactive for
xcopy to copy all files.

xcopy c:\ l:\ /h /s /v /t /n /r /e

I included /e because after I ran this command line previously without /e,
chkdsk on l:\ (run from a:) showed:

876 kb in 248 diectories
176172 kb in 509 user files
1066 kb in EA's
9664 kb reserved for system

and these results are much different for the directories and the system as
shown by chkdsk run against c:\ (from my previous mesage)

1365 kb in 454 directories
176200 kb in 5010 user files
1504 kb in EA's
6169 kb reserved for system

I could understand the decrease in EA's on l: since there were 206 fewer
directories in l: than in c: but I could not see any reason for the
difference in kb reserved for the system and the loss of one file. I
assumed the difference in the number of files was due to the absence of /e
since the online help says it forces x copy to recurse subdirectories.

If you look at my previous message, you will see that chkdsk run on l:
after xcopy was run with the /e parameter showed the same number of kb for
EA's and the same number of kb reserved for the system and the same number
of directories as chkcsk run on c:. There were more kb allocated to
directories on l: than on c: and fewer kb allocated to fewer files on l:
than on c:. >Steven
