So, I'm trying to copy all of the files from the SATA drive to the IDE drive, but I'm hitting a roadblock where there are files with 10-digit user/group IDs and file persmissions of 700, which means I can't copy the files because the Windblows IDs are different. It is XP Pro - 32 bit. What can I do that will allow me to do this: cd h: (cd g:/ ; tar cf -)|tar xvpf- and get all of the files copied from the SATA drive (g:) to the IDE drive (h:)? Thanks. Oh, and yes, the normal Windblows copy fails as well. Even though I am the only user on the system and should have 100% administrative permission, there are file that I can't copy.
