    Copying files across 2 hard disks


    Hello,

    I have successfully copied about 500GB of files from a hard disk containing 800GB to a 2nd hard disk. But I now need to copy the other 300GB onto a 3rd hard disk. So what I want to know is if there is an XCOPY command or something similar to copy all files from the large hard disk #1 to the 3rd hard disk #3 but obviously excluding all files that are already copied on to hard disk #2. Thanks for any help, and I realise and hope there may well be a simple solution, but I reckon I am going to have to write a DOS batch file. But it is those tricky XCOPY or DOS commands to copy the files that are on the 1st big 800GB HD that are NOT on the 2nd hard disk, to the 3rd one, that I need to know how to do.

    :)
