Re: Hard Disk whirrr

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

cd "\WINNT\Profiles\SLATTERY_T\My Documents"
It says the system cannot find the path specified.
Back to my earlier question: Isn't there an easy way to copy/backup My
Documents?
Why is it that other folders can easily be copied/backedup, but not My
Documents?

Start|Run, type cmd and hit enter. Now you have a console window. Type
"C:" (no quotes) to get onto the C: drive. Now navigate to your "My
Documents" folder. In my machine, I'd type

cd "\WINNT\Profiles\SLATTERY_T\My Documents"

This will vary depending on just how things are set up, but your My
Documents folder will be there somewhere. Once there:

xcopy *.* f:\ /s

assuming that "f:" is your removable drive. The "/s" tells it to copy
all the subdirectories. For a complete list of options, type

xcopy /?
