    well using xcopy command u can't directly copy two directories at once
    so u need to do that separately but u can do that at once when u in C folder

    first go to d folder and use this command
    xcopy cfolder /e

    that's all /e command is used to copy directory with whole sub directories
    without e it only copys files that in that specified directory so here is another well understandable example

    if ur D folder in D:\ drive and ur C and E folders in C:\ drive and E in C folder
    then go to D:\D folder and use this command

    xcopy
    C:\C /e
    so it will copy both of E and C to D that's all

    if u got any questions then ask me.!

    No don't use Thiyenawata all commands :eek::eek:
    just use this I typed now

    first go to the destination
    then locate that folder in dos by using cd (change directory command)
    then use xcopy with folder that need to be copied
    /e use e for copy all sub directories
    use "" for copy all sub directories + files

    here are some images :)

    then first go to the destination directory in this case it's D

    C:\A\D

    then locate that directory in dos command like this
    C:\A\D>

    then specify the directories that need to be copied
    it's only enough to specify the parent directory all sub directories will be copied once u use the /e command
    C:\A\D>xcopy "C:\A" /e

    that's all then
    C folder will be copied to D folder with carrying inside E folder :)

    weda karanne nene:(:(:(:(

    yea folders copy
    u want to insert some files into that folders unless files(s) 0 copied thamai
    try insert some files that folders then u can see x number files copied
    but here I teach you how to copy folders ,files copy if there are files unless only folders copy files don't , /e using e command all sub folders copy
    but u can even copy files without using /e command ,because /e for copy all sub folders ,it doesn't mean files because files are part of the folder not specially sub folders
