Preserving the dates on folders (and files) when copying from anetwork share
A while ago I backed up my Win98SE computer's hard drive to a virtual
machine virutal disk drive. When I tried to copy everything back, the dates on the various folders were not preserved no matter what I did. Nor were the file dates preserved. Now that Windows is up and running after swapping hard drives, I'm trying to restore some files where dates were significant. It seems when I copy a file by itself or in groups of FILES, the dates are preserved, but if I include a folder the date modified gets set to the current date. How do I copy the folders so the modification dates are preserved? I tried to recall how to use the ms-dos style restore command, but restore /? yielded "bad command or filename" indicating it wasn't available, and Microsoft Backup only seems to work with their own backup files. The files I want are stored on a virtual hard drive, and I can share them with either a virtual windows 98SE (cloned from the real computer I'm trying to restore them to, I just boot the backup partition) or a Virtual Windows XP Professional computer. Even if I could access them from the host Vista 64 OS, trying to access a Vista share will make a Windows 98SE computer crash, either virtual or real. |
