Here is the recipe:
1. Install the DUT as a slave disk on some different machine.
2. Copy the system partition to some other location:
XCOPY D:\ C:\SomeFolder\ /s /h /k /c 1>c:\test.log 2>&1
3. Examine c:\test.log for error messages.
4. Make sure that the target location contains the same amount
of data as the source location.
5. Repartition & reformat the DUT.
6. Mark the first partition active.
7. Reverse Step 2.

When I try to "Reverse Step 2"

C:\>xcopy c:\cdrive d:\ /s /h /k /c /y > c:\test.log

I get the following error:

+++
File creation error - The parameter is incorrect.

Unable to create directory - D:\

What is going on?
