My comp is royally screwed atm, and I'll have to reformat my C drive. However, I gotta back up my stuff first. I can't boot into windows vista, and i'm trying to use the command prompt to copy my docs into my backup drive.

To copy all the stuff from the users directory in C to the d drive (INCLUDING the Local\Roaming hidden files stuff, which contains my Firefox profiles, Winamp playlists, etc...), i'd have to type in :

xcopy c:\users\albert d: /s /h

Correct? Please correct me if I'm wrong. :confused2:

Also, in what directory are fonts located in?

Thanks for de help :0

Fonts are in the windows area of the c directory "C:\WINDOWS\Fonts" is how it shows on XP.

As for the command prompt stuff, I am not quite sure, but it looks right from what I remember.

I dont' know if you have seen this but here.....
