Hi,

I am trying to do an xcopy from DOS prompt, I made a mistake while
partitioning my Hard Drives with partition magic 4.0 adding Win NT I screwed
up the partiton table on my main drive and ended up not being able to access
windows so I am trying to copy two of my 4 partitions off of my 10.1 gig
primary drive on to my secondary 6.4 drive. I am using Win 98 Fat 32. The
partitions are both Fat 32 that I am trying to copy. I tried several commands
and I end up with Bad Command or File Name. I have tried E:\>  xcopy E: *.* G:
/S/E and several different commands and just trying to copy directories with
no luck. I have never used xcopy with fat 32 only with fat 16. Obviously I am
doing something wrong. I am not an old DOS person: no harm intended.
