First use the "cd" command to navigate to the folder on your HDD that contains the files or folders that you want to copy
(e.g. "cd my documents").
e.g. My desktop PC sees my USB memory-card reader as drive F, so to copy a file called "JSW-RR.TAP", I would use the following command:
copy jsw-rr.tap f:
To copy folders (and their subfolders, recursively), use xcopy /s.
e.g. To copy a folder called "MMJSW" to drive F:
xcopy /s mmjsw f:mmjsw\
