Copy entire C: drive

[Tony]

In past versions of Windows I was able to make an exact
copy of the C: by using the xcopy32 command. Is there a
way to do this in Windows xp? Tony

Xcopy32 works in XP too..

But I don't suppouse it's going to be an exact copy, as there are files here
and there that are in use....

It's just called xcopy.exe, but you should know that there are problems
with folder names using xcopy to copy an entire partition and, of
course, it doesn't copy the boot sector. You need a drive image program
to make an exact clone of a disk.

This post is deliberately humorless.
