Aacini, When I tried your code above, I got the following results, not exactly what I was looking for: File "bcd" moved and renamed to "M:bcd (1)" File "boot.sdi" moved and renamed to "M:boot (1).sdi" File "bootfix.bin" moved and renamed to "M:b...

I re-read previous posts and completed a more detailed walk-through of Aacini's code this morning and realized that all my remaining questions from my original post had been addressed in his REM remarks. I had skimmed originally and didn't catch them. Thanks all for the help. Foxidrive, If I had tak...

Thanks Aacini, I was wondering if there was a shorter way of coding what I was doing, and it looks like you came up with a way. I had used recursive code as well, but checked twice - once for the destination directory, and again for the deleted directory. Checking in the "deleted" director...

One very important thing I learned that some REM and :: lines will still execute if special characters are ...

abc0502, Thanks you for your help on this. The reason I am doing a byte comparison is that some of these files could be corrupt files. I can not seem to keep my house cool enough to keep my computers happy -- I lose a hard drive in one of my computers about every six months, so sometimes a drive cou...

There are too many files for me to do this manually. I had started doing it manually, but when I hit a d...

Although I used to make a living writing programs years and years ago, this is my first time to write DOS batch files (and the first time to ever post on a forum), so I am not familiar ...
