xcopy /a /c /e /h /k /s drive1: drive2:
warning by default this WONT copy permissions
I think you mean xcopy /s (inclusing subfolders)
though robocopy is better
Copy Files/Folders with permissions and ACL’s
***Command Line Tools***
Back in the days of NT4 we used to use SCOPY for copying permissions and ACL’s with 2000 that functionality was put into XCOPY
/X copies the audit settings (as /a in SCOPY)
/O copies ACL information (same as SCOPY)
/S copies subdirectories (same as SCOPY)
But Robocopy is a much better solution
To copy files and maintain they’re NTFS permissions and more importantly their ACL (Access Control List) information. You can use Robocopy (Stands for Robust Copy)
This tool in available in the NT/2000/2003/XP resource kits and can also be downloaded here,

I always use the /h /i /c /k /e /r /y switches
to see the switches go to a command prompt and type
xcopy /?
this will list all the switches and what they do

Excellent Daniel those instructions worked perfectly, and I had to use Fdisk to activate the partition.
Many many thanks
