copy all files and folders from one drive to another drive using DOS (command prompt)

xcopy "C:\SomeFolderName" "D:\SomeFolderName" /h /i /c /k /e /r /y

Use the above command. It will definitely work.

In this command data will be copied from c:\ to D:\, even folders and system files as well. Here's what the flags do:

• /h copies hidden and system files also
• /i if destination does not exist and copying more than one file, assume that destination must be a directory
• /c continue copying even if error occurs
• /k copies attributes
• /e copies directories and subdirectories, including empty ones
• /r overwrites read-only files
• /y suppress prompting to confirm whether you want to overwrite a file

Use xcopy /s I:\*.* N:\

This is should do.

Use robocopy. Robocopy is shipped by default on Windows Vista and newer, and is considered the replacement for xcopy. (xcopy has some significant limitations, including the fact that it can't handle paths longer than 256 characters, even if the filesystem can).

robocopy c:\ d:\ /e /zb /copyall /purge /dcopy:dat

Note that using /purge on the root directory of the volume will cause Robocopy to apply the requested operation on files inside the System Volume Information directory. Run robocopy /? for help. Also note that you probably want to open the command prompt as an administrator to be able to copy system files. To speed things up, use /b instead of /zb.
