My issue bears resemblance to these 2:

http://www.techsupportforum.com/forums/f217/transfer-files-using-command-prompt-468449.html

The first one is similar because my command prompt is saying my default drive is X: and I can not access anything on C:

The second one has a general outline for how to access the data, but the person who posted that couldn't do it, and I'm not sure if I'm doing it right...

How do I do this?: It doesn't seem to work for me...

xcopy "%userprofile%" "f:\userfiles" /i /s /y

Why do you want to copy data from the command prompt? If you can't boot your computer use an Ubuntu Live CD and copy the files to a USB Flash Drive.

That worked wonderfully!

Thank you!
