I understand now which I shouldn't have that 64-bit Windows 7... I already have trouble with the French version (main directories have an English name when reading the directory under the DOS Prompt but a French name from the Windows explorer, i.e. "pictures" is "Mes Images". Now that I could eventually run some old softwares if I was under the 32 bit version... Perhaps my good old DOS compiler ? And I am trying to backup my computer which has more that 3 millions of files (I kept many copies of the CD-ROM I sell and it has 100,000 files in each release). Windows Explorer can't do the job and I just find that some files have a bit "not readable by everybody" so I have to detect them manually to correct that so I could use XCOPY. I am trying to backup my computer, it copied files overnight but I have to restart it again since some files weren't copied...
