350519 2005-04-30 00:15:00 I have some important files on my computer so I bought a USB Flash Drive 128mb to back them up to, I had Windows ME and easily made a Batch file to Automatically Copy the files I selected this worked perfectly

xcopy C:\MyDocuments E:\

However when I upgraded to Windows XP and did this

xcopy C:\Documents and Settings\Nanna and Grandpops\My Documents E:\

it gives the Error 'Invalid Number of Parameters'

The flash drive is definaltly drive E:\

I'm stuck and need an anwser before I go back to school so any help would be great.

Try this by enclosing the file path in speechmarks:

xcopy "C:\Documents and Settings\Nanna and Grandpops\My Documents" E:\
