xcopy will copy anything if you give it the right commands.  Do
xcopy /?    and you will get all the information you need.
However, no matter what you do with xcopy, windows may not boot.
It is now on a drive it was not installed on, and it will be very 
confused.  (Can you blame it?)  Under these conditions, Linux
wouldn't boot either.
