Xcopy commands

[peterhol]

Create a folder on the HD to hold the contents of the CD.
If D: is the CD drive:
xcopy d:\*.* c:\yourfolder\. /s /e

the /e will copy any empty folders also
a /v switch will do a read/write verification
as well.

BC,

Goto your msdos prompt and type xcopy /? this will give you the syntax use the /p for page pause also.

xcopy /s is the one you will prob need to use if you choose to.

One other thing to add: If the file name you use has spaces or characters dos does not permit the path must be in quotes or you will get the 'too many parameters' error message.
