Hi all, I've just bought this new 300gig external hard drive, and I thought I'd take a snapshot of the internet and save it for future reference. For some reason, DOS doesn't seem to be working. I've been using:

c:\>copy http://www.*.* e:\internet

but it's not working.

What am I doing wrong here?
thanks.

Fool!! It's C:\format C:

Yesh, people these days.

Edit: not that I tried it, but c:\>copy www.*.* e:\internet seems to work closer and/or better. Not that I tried.
