cd = change directory.

--- commands:
cd "c:\Documents and Settings\yourname\my documents\"
copy *.* F:\flashdrive\backup
--
Something like that, quote addresses containing spaces, as I've done.
*.* copies all files, and file names. *.jpg copies all jpgs etc..
--
Note! use the dir command to display all the files within the current folder, very handy. TAB can complete folder names, so you don't have to type in all of it.
 
them, and copy to a flash drive? I have a hard drive that is going bad, windows will not startup. It won't allow me to recover or fix issues using chkdsk. I am able to get DOS to work but I'm not familar with DOS. I need to know how to get a list of files in my documents. Then i need to know how to copy files to a flash drive if possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated. In DOS i'm able to type dir at the c: and see directories such as program files, but that's about as far as i'm able to get using my limited knowledge of DOS and its commands :)
