 The code is actually feasible but for a typo mistake!(Cause there wasnt 
a dir named U:\test1) Here's the edited code:

dest=%w[U:/test_1 U:/dest1 U:/dest2 U:/dest3 U:/dest4]
j1=dest.length - 1
i1= 0
source=%w[C:/movtest/testing C:/movtest/testing/new U:/movtest/source 
U:/movtest/new U:/movtest/new1]
j=source.length - 1
i= 0
while i<=j && i1<=j1

Dir.chdir(source[i])
print Dir.getwd
print dest[i1]
FileUtils.cp_r Dir.glob('2008*'), dest[i1]
i+=1
i1+=1
end

But is there anyway whereby, I can write all the 'print' to a log file 
for reference, just in case there might be an error in copying? And if 
possible have some conditions to test if the files did really copy over?
Thanks.
