Hi,
I am looking for the fastest way to copy 110 Gbytes of
files from one external USB 2.0 drive to another external
USB 2.0 drive, using Windows XP Pro and two USB 2.0 ports
on one laptop. Any thoughts? P

I have found that using the xcopy command in a command window to be much
faster copying files than explorer, especially if there is a large
number of them. It is even better if you are doing backups as you can
tell it to skip existing files.
