I believe the following command should copy ALL of Windows, including
hidden, etc, files:
xcopy c:\windows d:windows/s/r/c/h/k/e/y
The parameters can be in any order, but this order should help you remember
it - it does for me, anyway. Of course, the destination 'd:' drive is any
letter you specify.
Hope this helps
Pat
PS. I've never done it, so I can't guarantee the result.
