Gene's suggestion would be good if Dsave had single drive capability as
Copy does. Try to use dsave for this purpose and you will get an error,
"can't change to sys/sys".
I think you are going to need to use a RAM disk. Copy the directory to
the RAM disk with dsave, swap disks, and copy the RAM data back to the
new disk.
