xcopy - destination folder becomes a hidden system folder - why?
Hi,
I've created a batch file containing the xcopy command to copy the entire partitioned drive to a folder on an external hard drive. However, when it is executed it works fine but the destination folder, called Backup, becomes a hidden system folder. Does any one know why this is the happening. I'm performing the xcopy on my parents computer, which is on win7. Code is as follows: REM This copies the intire H drive (Laptop Parition) to G drive (Segatemega Drive) xcopy H:\ G:\Backup /D /E /C /R /I /K /Y Cheers |

Not my forte but I believe adding the attribute to remove hidden and system would work. Not sure about the syntax, but since you seem to have a handle on it, something like:
xcopy H:\ G:\Backup /D /E /C /R /I /K /Y attrib -h -s G:\Backup Microsoft Corporation |

The Recycle Bin in the root of each drive is a Hidden, System file so I'm wondering if that is causing the problem.
I just tried basically the same command and I also end up with the Backup folder being SHD. If I change the xcopy command to xcopy H:\*.* G:\Backup /D /E /C /R /I /K /Y it then the H and S attributes are not set. |
