Yes boot usb, sorry for my spelling
you can't make a boot USB by copying, not with Windows or with xcopy. What type of Boot USB are you wanting to make, what do you want to do? Install Windows or something else?
I use this little program to make all my boot USB's--this allow you to put several different usb boot options onto one USB, from Windows boots, to virus and system repair utilities, ti Linux and even custom ones--check it out--it may do what you are trying to achieve--if not let us know what you are trying to do http://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator/
xcopy C:\Files E:\Files /i
C:\Files = Source
E:\Files = Destination
/i = Displays a list of files that are to be copied.
This is the example of XCOPY.
Robocopy will be another good option in windows 7
