is there a switch that will ask you too insert cd #1 or 2? i need a message box that ask's you and and i'm hiding the command window durning when it ejecks the cd rom for it too ask please insert#1 or someing like that.

here is my code:

CODE

CLS
@echo off
TITLE STARTING UP windows-POST-INSTALL

%systemdrive%\install\wpi\cmdow.exe @ /HID
REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\wpi\common\Prefetch.reg
REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\wpi\common\WPI.reg

CDR OPEN F:
SLEEP.exe 50
CDR CLOSE F:

start /wait %systemdrive%\install\wpi\WPI.hta /prefetch:1

exit

so is there a switch for it too ask you for the #? of the cd?
