I have to build a copy tool project. I want to copy/clone the entire C: drive. I tried using SHFileOperation() and IFileOperation, but they allow me to copy files that are not system files only.

Can anyone suggest any API or method to complete the task?

  • You could look into [Volume Shadow Copy](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/692848/volume-shadow-copy-vss). – Anonymous Coward Nov 29 '12 at 11:57

    That's not in general possible unless you boot the OS from a different drive. If you don't then you'll find that lots of files on C: will have a hard lock on them. – Hans Passant Nov 29 '12 at 12:04
