Hi Guyes, Is there any utility make one move files from a partition to another unader MSDOS without entering to windows system. For example;I have a problem with my PC and I can't enter to Windows and I have important files in C: Partition and I want to move them to D: or E: I know how to move them by DOS commmands (Copy & Move) but I want to do this operation by DOS Utilities. Thanks a lot

If your drive is formatted with the NTFS file system, no regular DOS will do what you want. The best suggestion I have is to put your drive in another XP system and do the file recovery there. By the way this forum is now called DOS Standalone and XP does not have that capability.

As wizard-fred syas, if either is NTFS, DOS will do nothing. If both are FAT, what 'utility' are you hinting at? And what's wrong with COPY & MOVE? M2

Actually if you had posted this question in the XP forum you would of been advised to boot using the XP CD as that has COMMAND LINE repair options, absolutely no MS DOS, Standalone or otherwise, is required.

If you are in dos, and using all fat partitions. Xcopy would do the trick nicely, itll copy full directories (including sud-dirs) at once and xcopy32 will even keep 32bit filenames.
