Copying from A to C drive

[Alan]

Have 5 3.5 floppy's with letters on them that I would
like to load on to my hard drive. How do I copy all files
on a single floppy to C drive without having to copy them
one at a time.

Hi Alan,
To copy the contents of a floppy disk in drive A: to a folder on your C:
drive run this command from a CMD prompt on the Windows XP computer:

"XCOPY A:\*.* C:\<folder>"

where folder is the name of the folder you want to copy the files to. Just
be sure you don't include the quotes.

Alan, go to Windows Explorer and click on the A drive. The files will show
up in the right pane, click edit, select all and then click edit and then
copy. Click on the folder on your C drive that you want to put them in,
then click edit and then paste.

Will XCOPY retain long file names? Why not just SELECT ALL files in the
floppy, then drag them to the desired C-drive folder?

You should be able to put the disk in, go to Start - My Computer - (A:) , when it shows the disk contents, click on the top file, hold shift while clicking the bottom file. This should select all the files. Click "Folders" on toolbar and a window on left
should appear. Click the "+" to the left of (C:) and it will show what is in your C: Drive. Drag the files to where you want them to go. Done!
