    Copy entire drive?

    I need to copy the contents of an entire drive over to another one. Cloning applications aren't working for me because the source drive is larger than the destination drive (the amount of data actually present will fit on the destination drive no problem, however).

    I've tried xcopy and robocopy, but xcopy fails evidently because some file names are too long, and robocopy fails because it can't copy some protected system files.

    xcopy sharing violation

    xcopy seems to give multiple sharing violation when copying files from a network drive to a separate drive (using the /D switch). Anyone know a work-around for this problem?

    Best Way To Copy Hard Drives on Win10


    There is the XCOPY /L switch which lists the files to be copied - this will be exceedingly long if copying an entire drive!!! There is also the /F switch which lists the files as they are copied.
