In other words:
When using Windows 'Copy' and there is a duplicate file in destination
Windows ask the question:

This is why I recommended the /y switch.

"Overwrite....? I would like to have an option answering "No to All" and
Windows continue copying files but not quitting copying process as it is
doing right now.

I am getting the impression that you completely ignored the
advice I gave you in my first reply. Unless you spend the
time to try the command I gave you, you have to spend a
lot of time with repetitive copy commands. The choice is yours.

Hello,
It must be a simple solution but I do not know how to do it.
When copying full folders (with subfolders) from one harddrive into
another
hardrive and during copying there is an error stoping the the copy
process
let say 70% files were copied.
What is the best way to copy the remaining files? I do not think,
checking
each subfolders for missing files is the best solution.
Thanks,
Jack


Use xcopy.exe from the Command Prompt. Example:

xcopy /s /c /d /y "c:\Documents and Settings\Jack\My Documents"
"U:\Backup\"

Type xcopy /? at the Command Prompt to see the meaning
of the various switches.
