Installing an Old Harddrive?

"Zip" wrote in message news
One last question, looking at the web, it recommends using:

D:\ xcopy C:\*.* /a /e /k

as the best way to transfer one entire drive to another (what I want to
do). However, I get an "/k is an invalid switch". What's the best way to
transfer an entire volume?

Thanks again, everyone!

I wound up using:

D:\ xcopy C:\*.* /a /e /s

Booted back up in WinXP, and the uncompressed data was all there! Time for a
beer...

Get yourself xxcopy, from http://xxcopy.com. Free. Avoids the
anomolies and traps of MS software, and much more capable.

As a last resort you might try "xcopy /?" for a description of the
switches available on your particular version.
