I'm running 2 SCSI drives under Win 2000 (drive C & D). I copied drive C to D once but have since forgot the command sequence.
Anyone know?

Thanks

You can't do that while windows is running. Windows has exclusive locks on several files when running and you are not allowed to read those with any copy command.
To make an exact copy of one drive to another, you will need some image tool like Norton Ghost or PowerQuest Drive Image.

or boot using a dos disk (win98's dos), load the scsi drivers and just copy using xcopy.

I believe long names will be preserved.
Good luck.

If the drive uses NTFS you can't access it from dos with e.g. xcopy without a DOS NTFS driver.
Further xcopy doesn't copy boot record information, so it would not be an exact copy.
