Insufficient memory using xcopy

New Windows 8 machine.  Attempted copy of docs from disk of old machine connected with USB.  Copies about 1800 files (same number on multiple attempts) and quits with "insufficient memory"  Using Xcopy (Hey, it's what I know.)  Didn't help to use switches, such as /d /e /c /y.  In fact, I got an invalid number of parameters once.  What was that all about?

Of course, there is ample RAM and a huge swap file.

Anyway, is XCopy toast?  Do I have to use PowerShell?  Any advice?
