Of course, the reason xcopy doesn't copy those uncopyable files is that
those files are running as part of Windows and you can't copy a file while
it's running. In other words, an OS can't copy itself.
I don't see why not--the file that is running is in memory, isn't it? Why
couldn't you copy the *files on the disk* that represent the OS? And aren't
you implying that XXCOPY did that?
