beep22 Posted March 15, 2015 #1 Posted March 15, 2015 Trying to copy bunch of movies to an external drive using the xcopy command but it won't work, says invalid number of parameters. xcopy E:\Backup\New Stuff\Movies N:\ /s /e Recently used the same parameters on xcopy command and it worked great. What am I doing wrong?Have tried this over and over with same results. Please advise. beep22
Administrator draww Posted March 18, 2015 Administrator #2 Posted March 18, 2015 it might be your folder name New Stuff. without quotes the command will get the source as E:\Backup\New and the Stuff\Movies part will become the invalid parameters.btw /E switch copies all folders including the empty ones. /S switch does the same without copying empty folders. so why would you use both or why would you copy empty folders?
