Did you use any other switches?

Try XCOPY C:\ D:\ /R/I/C/H/K/E/Y from the Start, Run menu. (Don't use xcopy32
and don't do the xcopy from DOS Mode. All the RICHKEY switches but one are
*needed*.)

To save time: Defrag, clear your browser's cache file, and empty the recycle
bin first. Don't forget to mark the new drive "active" from fdisk after
you do the xcopy and switch the drive settings (both CMOS and on the drives).
Hit <F8> when you see "Starting Windows 95..." and go through the boot process
step by step is you still have problems.

Bill
