I have read around and can't seem to make it work to have the dates not change when transferring to a new hard drive. I tried copying the folders themselves, someone recommended in a forum, but that doesn't keep the creation dates intact. Is this even possible to do?
Maybe I could make that listing of the dates and then manually change only the files I would be working on later in time. Now I would need to find a program to rewrite the creations dates, if possible. I have to be so exacting. |

IIRC, Robocopy can do that (not sure its in XP though)
If not, I have ReplaceFile https://dl.dropbox.com/u/17024916/ReplaceFile.zip
That moves/copies and keeps the dates
sample syntax /c=copy, else it moves
copy *.wav from drive q: to drive d:
ReplaceFile /c q:\*.wav d:\
copy a file and rename
ReplaceFile /c q:\test1.wav d:\ newname.wav

Ah this is nice. Does this program of yours also copy the folders and sub directories as well? |

You can also try this: http://codesector.com/teracopy
It can also be set as default copy handler on windows.

That's all right dloneranger. It's a good program and it works great.
Dloneranger's program works perfectly on files and preserves the creation dates after the transfer test I did, Teracopy did not. I installed Teracopy and did a transfer of a folder with files from the main drive to external drive and the date stamp is still being altered to the new time. Teracopy's "what's new" says that the date stamp should be intact but I'm not seeing that affect happen with me.
