Best Answer

COPY A:\ C:\DATA (note that there's a space between a:\ and C:\data)

The command you use will depend on the operating system you're using.

On Windows, the command is copy. The following example would copy the file to the windows folder on drive c: copy a:\myfiledat c:\windows

On Linux, the command is cp.

When using either of these commands, if either the source file or destination folder/file contains spaces you'll have to place quotes around it. copy a:\myfiledat "c:\folder with spaces"

How do you change drive in Command prompt 45k?

To just change the drive you are working on in a command window you can simply type the drive letter followed by a colon at the prompt. For example, type "D:" to switch to the D drive. This will switch you to the current directory in the target drive (each drive tracks its own current directory).If you want to change both the drive and the current folder in the target drive, use the /D option of the CD (change directory) command. For example, to change to the "Users" folder of the C: drive (regardless of the current drive or folder), type "CD /D C:\Users". Remember to put your target path in quotes if it contains spaces.Here are what the examples would look like in your command window:EXAMPLE 1C:\>D:D:\Current Directory>EXAMPLE 2D:\Photos>CD /D C:\UsersC:\Users>

What happens when you drag a file or folder from one disk to another?

Where you drag from one folder to another on the same drive, Windows interprets this as a CUT/PASTE command and moves the file from one folder to the other. Where you drag a file to a folder on another drive, Windows interprets this as a COPY/PASTE command and creates a duplicate of the file in the target folder.
