XXCOPY (or XXCLONE for that matter) does not access the disk
using low-level device I/O. Rather, it accesses the disk
using the standard Win32 file I/O API and let the built-in
low-level device drivers and other software components in
the system perform their job in accessing the file info
from the disk. When the system freezes or does something
unusual, in nearly all cases, it is a result of some form of
corrupt disk volume, or other system components such as
anti-virus going wild (I aave you seen so many occasions
that disabling/removing AntiVirus tool makes things work
again).

My first suggestion is to run ScanDisk (or a similar tool)
to make sure that the volume in question is in a healthy
state. XXCOPY is designed to be totally device-independent
software and is unable to handle problems in the file system.
That is, it is not a tool to diagnose or repair problems in
the storage volume. It assumes that you have a reasonably
reliable, healthy volume to start with.
