/O Copies file ownership and ACL information.

in XP I would use the above option. DOn't know what the switch would be in 2000

You should use robocopy.exe instead. It's a better utility than xcopy. It's available from the Resource Kit.

Check it out. /o only works for 2000 according to this site. Keep in mind, it might be an old site. Good luck.
