Backing up a customer's personal files on their screwed XP install.

There are 4-5 user accounts, some of them are password protected.

Ideally I need to back up these files to my external HDD.

I cannot remove the passwords through normal methods as the XP installation is corrupt and riddled with problems, virus, etc.

The customers HDD is in my office PC at the moment, my external HDD is also connected to this PC.

I am currently using the XCopy command to back up everything I can. However, I am not getting on too well with it at the moment.

This is my syntax:

"xcopy e:\ f:\clients\walsh /t /s /e /h /f /c /y /n /r /i

Here is the KB article:http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/xcopy.mspx?pf=true

Cheers,

Chris
