Add «XF ~*.*» to your copy command? (I haven’t tried it myself.)

I put [ ] there to show where a space might be in the folder name. Go back into command prompt and try to copy and paste that whole path from windows explorer into a cd command. Copy and paste it instead of typing it out.
cd e:multimediamultimedia archive2013 CW-TW worship media
or CD to the multimedia archive folder and do a dir command to list all the folders

Hello Experts,
I have ran into a issue that has me stumped. I have this batch file that I use to backup a laptop to a network drive. The backup has been working correctly for many months with no errors, now earlier this week I have started getting this error msg:
ERROR 2 (0x00000002) Creating Destination Directory F:HP6910pDailyBackupDesktop_New1Scripts
The system cannot find the file specified.
Waiting 30 seconds… Retrying…

What is causing this and how do I fix it?
I have tried changing the destination path but that fails also.
I have other laptops that are running this same script to the same network drive(different folders on the drive) and they are all working fine.
Any help would be great.
Below is the code that is in a file named backup.bat. Text version is attached.

Hello I am trying to move the users directory from my C drive to my D drive to free up some space. I found this thread from a quick google search. I wasn’t sure how to «boot to installation media». I inserted what I believe is the windows installation disc, but nothing happens when I restart, which I believe is due to boot order settings in BIOS.
In any event, I just hit F8 after restarting the computer, went into repair mode and clicked on command prompt. The command prompt had this:
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
X:windowssystem32>
After the «system32>» I typed the following (taken from the top comment of the above link):
robocopy c:Users d:Users /mir /xj /copyall
I then got:
ROBOCOPY :: Robust File Copy for Windows
Started: Thu Jun 26 15:58:35 2014
Source : c:Users
Dest : d:Users
Files: *.*
Options: *.* /S /E /COPYALL /PURGE /MIR /XJ /R:1000000 /W:30
2014/06/24 15:58:35 ERROR 2 <0X00000002> Accessing Source Directory c:Users
The system cannot find the file specified.
Any ideas what’s going on? It’s running windows 7. There are just a couple files in the d drive currently, nothing else. I had previously copied some files from users in the c drive and pasted them to the d drive, and then deleted them from the c drive, but I don’t think that’s an issue.
I really need to free up some space on the c drive, so if someone could help with this or suggest another way to clear up space on the c drive, that would be a big help — thanks!
