If "cannot see" means they are hidden, you can unhide them.

attrib -h \pathname\*.* /s

You can use:

xcopy /s/e/h source target && del source

/s copies all subfolders
/e copies the complete structure, if empty or not empty folders

/h copies also the hidden files

(But it doesn´t copy the *.sys files)


Just type xcopy/? and del/? for more information
