ArcaOS comes with a similar utility to allow using memory above 4 GiB 
(actually closer to 3.5GiB) as a ram disk.

As Pete said, it is fairly easy with LVM and being able to assign drive 
letters. Previously I used to have to plan my partitions carefully, plug 
in the new drive as drive #2, do the copying, and then switch the drives 
boot order.
The correct xcopy command to copy x: to y: is xcopy /h /o /t /s /e /r /v

Can I suggest that you post your questions to usenet, newsgroups such as 
comp.os.os2.apps, comp.os.os2.ecs and comp.os.os2.misc are a good start.
If you need an account, there's a few free ones out there. I had good 
luck with aioe, news://nntp.aioe.org
