i m unable to copy the folder with name like "1 tools"
or "copy of 2004"
i think dos is unable to take space in folder name
i m using winXP
what to do to copy such folder from dos

put the file name in "" i.e for new winamp file as "new winamp file"

copy "new winamp file.ext" <location>

Or just press Tab key after typing first letter of the file, windows will automatically display filenames matching with the letter

There is some diff between how copy and xcopy works.
copy will not copy zero length files. So if you want to make exact copy of a dir, use xcopy

Code:

C:\Documents and settings\Satyam>xcopy "D:\Old Data 2003\etools\<file/folder>" "E:\New Data\" /s /i /e /k /h

Thanks a Lot Friends
This Solved My Prob.
