Copying a whole thumb drive in VB

[skygremlin]

I am trying to write a simple VB app to copy all directories and files off a thumb drive to a directory on a pc. I have a couple things I am trying to automate.

Final Build will:
- Have multiple USB connections for multiple drives to copy from at the same time
- Have seperate directories for each individual who will copy to the pc
- Have a list box where I would like to choose which directory (Individual) to copy files to, and a seperate list box to choose which thumb drive to copy from
- Auto name each directory with a prefix and current time


Below is what I've been playing with.
- I can select an individual from my list box
- I Can copy a directory and subs over to D:\Video
- Decide what to call it with the current time.

BUT I cannot copy over a whole drive. for example - if H is my thumb drive please see below.

Works:
- this will create a folder under D:\video
- name that folder by whatever is selected in the list box, and the current time
- Then copy over everything from H:\pix to D:\Video\<new folder>

My.Computer.Fil eSystem.CreateD irectory("D:\Vi deo\" & lstvidguy.Selec tedItem & time)
My.Computer.Fil eSystem.CopyDir ectory("H:\pix" , "D:\Video\" & lstvidguy.Selec tedItem & time, True)


Not work - BUT what I need:
- this will create a folder under D:\video
- name that folder by whatever is selected in the list box, and the current time
- Then copy over everything from H:\ to D:\Video\<new folder>

My.Computer.Fil eSystem.CreateD irectory("D:\Vi deo\" & lstvidguy.Selec tedItem & time)
My.Computer.Fil eSystem.CopyDir ectory("H:\", "D:\Video\" & lstvidguy.Selec tedItem & time, True)

What I need help with is:
1) What little code am I missing to copy over the whole drive?

Please keep in mind I have 1 semester of beginning VB under my belt..:)

I always use FileInfo and DirectoryInfo objects for file transfers. You should check them out.
