I don't know anything about NT4. The
xcopy c:\*.*/e/h/k/r/c d:\
command is what PC Magazine says that you use if you're replacing your hard
drive with a larger one. You put the bigger HD in as a new (slave) hard
disk, then run that command, then take out the smaller HD and re-jumper the
large new HD as master instead of slave, and it's supposed to be
plug-and-play. I've never actually tried it that way, but I certainly use
the above XCOPY command every weekend on my trading machine.

If from a DOS window you do a "xcopy/?" you'll find out that
/e=copies directories and subdirectories, including *E*mpty ones
/h=copies hidden and system files also
/k=copies and retains file attributes rather than resetting
/r=Overwrites read-only files
/c=continue copying even if the system reports errors
