If using the DOS Copy command do remember to use the /b for binary switch. Otherwise it will think it is concatenating text files and for each file will stop on the first Hex 1A (Ctrl-Z) byte.

Thanks Again Everyone! I think I am going to assimilate what you all have said, and then begin to experiment with the different suggestions. At least now I have plenty of information to start with, and from good sources )
By the way (I would like to give back a little) so I'll tell you I am a licensed attorney in MA, and so if anyone has any legal questions I would be happy to give my two cents. Caveat - I am by no means an expert in "computer forensic law," so any advice I give needs to be taken in that light - but please verify with a licensed attorney in your area who specializes in your specific issue/s. Also, I am fairly busy myself working and preparing for the CCE, so please don't bombard me with stuff or be offended if I can't get back to you right away.
Regards to Everyone!
Mike
I think you need to use copy /b because they are binary file?
Seriously?? Linux is the only answer? The church of Pingu have once more not failed to amuse me greatly.
There is a DOS command (been around for donkey's years, pre-dates Linux (prob not Unix before anyone starts)) that will do exactly what you require, no installing pseudo Linux applications, no booting an alternate OS. It's called… wait for it…. COPY.

I may not have the syntax exactly correct, google is your friend.
