Hello,

C drive has an empty folder ABC123

D drive has folder ABC123 that contains files and other folders with files (D is a CD)

I want to use XCOPY from FreeDOS, I tried latest and older version, it gives same error:

*****************************************************
>XCOPY D:\ABC123 C:\ABC123

Source path not found - \\D.\A.\
0 file(s) copied

>_
*****************************************************

Whats going on? What is the problem?

I can copy exact same folder manually using COPY, but it is tedious. (creating all subfolders manually and using COPY command for each folder)

Thanks in advance.

xcopy /s d:\abc123 c:

d:
cd \abc123
xcopy *.* c:\abc123 /s

This is the process I use with the old Win9x XCOPY.
