To backup ur files from one drive to another use XCOPY comand



for example,if u want to have a backup of all the files (residing in ABC folder and in D drive ) , into E drive 



1.At first create a ABC folder in E drive

2. and then write the following syntax in notepad and save it with .bat extention to create a batch file

3. Rite click on it and run it...it will execute 





XCOPY D:\abc\*.* E:\abc\ /C /S /D /Y /I

Hello,



Recently I have seen some CDs of 700mb (Windows XP 9 in 1, Windows 2003 Server 5 in 1... etc etc) which has DATA of aprox. 4GB. 



If we see the property of CD it shows the SIZE around 700mb, But if we select all files in the CD and see property to find SIZE we can see the DATA size is around 4gb! 



Also If we COPY the that CD using any CD Burner software (like Nero 7) we can copy the CD to another CD of 700mb.



How can we make 4GB of DATA to burn in a CD and What Softwares we need to use for that. Please guide. I have searched many places, Including this site, But did not get any help.

And i have lots of softwares want to keep in 1 CD's if i will knows about...

Impitiantly waiting
