Boot to the boot disk and from the A: prompt type PATH=a:\;c:\windows\command;c:\windows\system;c:\windows\system32; (press enter)

Then you should be able to use all the commands that the a: and c: drives have.

Hot tip...Place that line in the autoexec.bat file of the boot disk and you won't have to type it but once.

Best regards.

It's installed, it's xcopy32 in the C:\windows\command directory. Just copy it to your boot disk.
