Copying windows 8 Users folder having long long paths
- by bilal.haider
I was trying to move my "Users" folder in Windows 8 as described here and here.
But when I try to copy the folder using "xcopy" in Windows Installation Disk Repair Mode, after some files are copied, I get "insufficient memory". The files on which the error is given are like C:\Users\Bilal\Application Data\Application Data\Application Data.........Application Data\Application Data.....
What is the point in such directories within directories?
I also tried copying them using Mini Windows XP, but the problem was there too..
Also tried copying using Parted Magic Live CD... but still..
So now, how can I move them?
Another Question. Is moving such/ system files using Linux a good idea? Does it do anything to permissions?
