Subject  :  making a safety copy with xxcopy
Size(KB) :  0


hi !

My harddisk has been partitioned as follows : a 4 MB C-disk and a 1.5 MB D-disk.

I intend to use the D-disk as a kind of backup medium for windows and a few other important programs; when I need to reinstall windows, 
I thought of simply formatting drive C and xxcopying the old windows start-installation from D.

If I understand well this is easily done with xxcopy using the clone argument. What will happen however with the windows swap file ? Without this
file windows won't work ... Is it also copied by the "clone" operation ?

Thanks for an early answer !


Walter
