urgently need DOS file copy utility!![RESOLVED]

[wengang]

Hi all.

My C drive died yesterday morning. Since I've been using it for 6 years, I was satisfied to go out and buy a new one.

But,,
now I have discovered a few folders of files that I hadn't backed up (somehow), amounting to about 1,000 files.

So I just spent the whole day trying to extract the files. The problem of the broken disc is that, the MBR seems to be corrupted, and the FAT32 table stays corrupted. After running several scandisks off a boot floppy, I see that it won't be repaired. Since a scandisk can't complete, I can't re-install an OS on it, even tried win95.

So I reformatted another one of my hard drives to FAT32 (all the rest were ntfs) and went into DOS to copy the files. Don't ask me why but the disc will show up intact under DOS, but won't boot under win98 or XP. Both stall at boot up. I even tried to trick it by plugging the IDE cable after boot, but when it discovers the disc, it stalls again.

So, what I need,....
I found several ways to copy the files in DOS, including COPY , XCOPY, and by using Easy Recovery Pro's emergency DOS diskette to do a recovery on the disc.
The problem is they are all coming back 8.3. I thought I was out of the woods when I got all of the files onto the other drive, only to reboot and find them all in 8.3 (myfile~1.doc). I wouldn't gripe, but it's about 1000 files.

I found an app called xxcopy freeware, but the 16bit (DOS) version only preserves the short name.

Is there an app that can copy entire dirs and subdirs in DOS, and preserve the long filenames too?

Please let me know of it. Thanks!!!
