    Is there another alternative to XCOPY.exe or better parameters?


    Have been having trouble copying an entire USB HD to its own folder in a much larger USB HD. I hit all types of errors which just made FIle Explorers copy stop and disappear without any notices or errors.So I did takedown.exe over night, and am now having new troubles with XCOPY.EXEI ran it as xcopy f:\*.* s:\tempf /E /R /L /H /Y /J /C eventually quit with an insufficient memory warning.I ran it as xcopy /E /F /L /H /Y /J /C and it copied nothing. When I did it without the /C, it copied nothing, and failed about 33 files in with an inaccessible file.There has to be a way to copy this drive.

    :)

    SETX/? And XCOPY error in windows 10.

    Every time I start up my computer i get a window that says select a program and today i decided i will click on one of them to see whats causing it to pop up so i click on notepad and a text command line showed up in the notepad. And i'm wondering how i
    can disable this from showing up on startup. a few weeks ago i was using command prompt to format a sd card a certain way for android and i not sure if that is what is causing this to happen on start up or something entirely different. down below is the text
    that showed up in the notepad.

    XCopy not working on Win10

    Hi,

    There is a thread on this topic but it doesn't show a resolution.

    Has something changed where xcopy doesn't work on Win10?

    I am looking to copy files and I can't get even the simpliest .bat file to work. Copying 1 file to another folder on the C directory.

    @EchoOff xcopy C:\files\test.bat C:\files-to\

    Any suggestions are appreciated!

    thanks,

    joan
