Subject  :  Installing XXCOPY in Win ME (Dick Wynveen's query)
Size(KB) :  1


As a novice, I had the same problem trying to install XXCOPY onto a new (ME=
) hard drive from the downloaded XXCOPY suite on a 1=B744 diskette. I then=
copied the suite to the ME desktop, used control panel's add/subtract prog=
rams to browse to the XXCOPY suite and to open INSTALL.BAT (in the XXCOPY s=
uite on the desktop).

This will not be the "preferred" way, but it worked, and may help Dick.

I moved to ME because of its' restore feature, without realising that I wou=
ld not be able to run my (W9X) copies of Partition Magic or Drive Image (am=
ongst others) from the DOS prompt Box (Window). I hope to migrate from an =
old (ME) HDD to a new HDD by running a minimum install of ME on the new dri=
ve and using XXCOPY [rather than use XXCOPY16 from the start up diskette to=
an empty HDD and then restoring long file names etc.].

I am slowly working up to a better understanding of the appropriate XXCOPY =
switch options before attempting this deceptively simple operation. If the=
re are well known (obvious to cognoscenti) pitfalls with this approach, ple=
ase let me know.
