Be careful, Ian. At one time, I too used xcopy32. However, the Microsoft
author of this program cautions users not to use it. Instead, you should use
xcopy - xcopy will use a 16 bit version of file copy, or invoke xcopy32 when
it is appropriate. If you run xcopy32 directly, some file corruption may
occur. I have not documented any such corruption that I can attribute to
xcopy32, but this warning can be found in some articles (I think I found it
in the MS knowledge base).

Dunno about xcopy but xcopy32, a later version, copies everything, depending
on what switches you use. I'm no guru on the subject, but when I copy an
entire CD to a HDD, say a W98 CD to a directory on the HDD from where I'll
do the actual install of W98, my command is (from A):
