So after digging through windows help and realizing that the data is uncompressed on the CD's, I realized the xcopy will restore the files (in a merge fashion) where copying via the GUI caused the existing data and directories to be deleted.<br /><br />So, my CD drive is "D:" and I changed directory to "C:\Documents and Settings\{account name}\My Documents\" . The command I ran on each CD was the following:<br /><br /><pre><br /> cd "C:\Documents and Settings\{account name}\My Documents\"<br /> xcopy.exe "D:\All Files\C\Documents and Settings\{account name}\My Documents\*" . /C /S /Y<br /></pre><br /><br />I hope that helps save someone else some trouble. I attempted to call Sonic, but was hung up on twice, so there may be an "official" way of doing this, but I had not luck with their FAQ, knowledgebase, and phone support.<br /><br />Jonathan Cowherd<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/27553964-114678229531050066?l=returntype.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>World Leader Pretendhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07701452772384704151noreply@blogger.com0
