    Is there a way in Windows XP, DOS, or with some other app (other than imaging) to COPY files to another HDD and keep the "Date Created" metadata (and not have it default to the date it was copied)?

    I know that I can CUT and PASTE the files from one drive to another and the "Date Created" metadata is identical, but I don't want to lose the files on the original disk.

    I need to COPY and PASTE instead. There must be an option for this somewhere?
