Cuffy,

You did it!  And it was so easy, much easier than the instructions at the
xxcopy site.
I ran the command you listed below from the DOS box in Windows.  Took
only 1 1/2 hours to copy 13GB to my D drive.  I went back in and checked
and my D drive boots up like my C drive.  And I don't have to disable
GoBack, so that is all still saved.  And it's much easier than Ghost.

Thanks.

I've tried to reformat it, but in Windows I'm being told it's in use and
I can't seem to get to that drive in DOS.  When I look at it in Windows
it says it's 20GB.
Is this Drive D: on your machine?
From within Windows Explorer right click on the drive letter and check
properties. The info presented should give you an idea of what you have.
If the drive is empty a simple command in the Run line should clone the
drive......
XXCopy C:\ D:\ /Clone
That seems simple enough if you are trying to clone 12 gigs onto a 20 gig
empty drive.
If the properties for the 20 gig drive show it contains files then you
should be able to Format the drive right from that context menu so you
have room for your 12 gigs of date.
Maybe I don't understand something?
