>I am running Win98. The Win Explorer doesn't see the NTFS hard drive that I've connected. If I run a program like NTFS4DOS I can get a connection to the NTFS drive. But xcopy doesn't work when trying to copy files from the NTFS drive to the FAT32 drive.

This seems strange to me. xcopy can't see the files, but copy can?

Well, anyway, I am glad you solved your problem.

To automate copying (or otherwise manipulating) several folders, if you don't know the folder structure, you will want to use a recursive program.
