RUNNING FILECOPY
  To run FileCopy from DOS, type "filecopy" at the prompt.  From  
  windows simply double click on the FileCopy application.  In both 
  cases you will be prompted to enter a source drive and destination
  drive.

OVERVIEW
  The intent of FileCopy is to streamline the task of adding a new 
  hard drive as the boot drive in your system, when used in 
  conjunction with ONTRACK Disk Installation Utilities.  This  
  is done by copying all your existing files and directories from 
  your old drive to the new hard drive, thus allowing you to make  
  the new drive the boot drive.

  FileCopy is a DOS program which performs a file-by-file copy, 
  of all files from one drive letter to another.  It is compatible 
  with DOS, Windows 3.x and Windows 95/98.  You can run it from DOS
  3.31 or greater, from Windows or in Windows 95/98 from a MS-DOS
  window.  It will copy both FAT16 and FAT32 partitions, as well as
  copying files from FAT16 to FAT32 or FAT32 to FAT16.

  FileCopy will copy all files without changing their contents.  
  (**See SWAP FILES below)  It will copy hidden, system, and read-only
  files including all subdirectories.  It will copy Windows 95/98
  long-file-name files preserving the exact file name.  It preserves
  all filenames, attributes, and dates.  If the file to be copied
  exists on the destination, FileCopy will ask if you would like
  to overwrite the destination file.

  FileCopy can also make your destination drive bootable if it is a
  primary partition and if the source drive is bootable.  FileCopy 
  transfers the necessary boot sector information to your destination 
  drive and marks the partition bootable. 

OTHER APPLICATIONS
  FileCopy cannot copy files if they are in use by another
  application.  For example, many virus checkers maintain special
  files that are not accessible by other applications.  These files
  are often just simple files that get created upon start-up of the
  virus checker.  It is important that you shutdown ALL other 
  applications, including those running in the background such as 
  virus checkers and screen-savers.  

RUNNING SCANDISK OR CHKDSK
  If FileCopy reports an error while copying a file or directory, we 
  recommend running scandisk(for DOS versions 6.20 and later) or
  chkdsk(for DOS versions before 6.20) on the source drive.  Both 
  utilities are designed to optimize file storage and fix problems
  on your hard drive.  It is also a good idea to run scandisk or 
  chkdsk on the drive you plan to copy before running FileCopy.   
  
FILES AND DIRECTORIES WITH THE SAME NAME
  If there is a directory on the destination drive with the same name
  as a file on the source drive, or a file on the destination drive
  with the same name as a directory on the source drive, FileCopy
  cannot copy the file. A "Cannot create" error will be displayed,
  with the option to continue by pressing 'Y' or exit by pressing 'N'.
  It is recommended that you exit and rename the file or directory on
  either the source or destination drive. If you choose to proceed by
  pressing 'Y', FileCopy will proceed to completion, however, not all
  files or directories will be copied to the destination drive.

SWAP FILES
  FileCopy never copies SPART.PAR and WIN386.SWP.  These files are
  related to Windows swap files and are rebuilt by Windows on 
  startup if they are missing, while keeping all your swap file 
  settings intact.
  FileCopy will always copy the permanent swap file 386SPART.PAR 
  but it will zero-fill its contents.  When Windows restarts, it 
  will use the swap file as normal.

INVALID DRIVE LETTER ERRORS
  If source or destination drive letter is something other than C - Z.
  If source or destination drive letter is a CD-ROM drive letter.
  If source and destination drive letters are the same.
  If unable to analyze the size and contents of the source drive.
  If the destination drive is drive C:, you will be prompted to 
  confirm before continuing.
  If the space available on the destination drive is not of equal or
  greater capacity.

AFTER FILECOPY HAS COMPLETED
  If you plan on swapping the source and destination drives, remember
  to change jumpers and CMOS settings.

UPGRADING
  If upgrading old read/write partitions, FileCopy can only be used
  to copy files to the first partition.

KNOWN LIMITATIONS
  If you formatted the drive that you intend to copy files to with 
  a product other than the ONTRACK Disk Installation Utilities, 
  you must restart your computer for the changes to take affect.  
  Not doing so will result in FileCopy performing incorrectly, 
  specifically in making your destination drive bootable.

  If running Windows 95/98 and the drive you intend to copy files to is  
  using MS-DOS compatibility mode file system, FileCopy will be unable
  to make your destination drive bootable. 
  
  DOS limits the number of entries in a directory based on the cluster
  size of a particular partition.  If FileCopy is unable to create a 
  file or directory on the destination, it may be due to the fact that
  the maximum number of entries has been reached for the particular 
  directory.
