I've got a 2TB external hard drive for backup purposes. The backup I want to do is to copy all of the files from the C: drive to the external hard drive (the C: drive on this laptop only has one partition) without endless "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process." error messages (I know I can hide the messages but that is not the point - I want to be able to copy the files). There are two issues here:
#1: The following command does absolutely nothing - it just returns to the command prompt after a minute or so:
Copy /E /F /G /H /J /K /S /V /X C:\* I:\
#2. I'd like to do the copy without Windows actually running, i.e. from the Windows Install DVD command prompt. However I can not get TCC to run (it errors out) from the Windows CMD prompt. Is there any way I can do this? Or do you have a suggestion on how to do the task when Windows is running?
