Copying Problem

... or you could Dynamically find the Letter assigned to cd-rom drive in the Registry, using something like this:

:: For Windows 2000/XP
SETLOCAL
SET CDROMS=
::Following tempfilenames are just arbitrary
SET Temp1=%Temp%.\tempcd1.$$$
SET Temp2=%Temp%.\tempcd2.$$$
START /WAIT REGEDIT /E %Temp1% "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\MountedDevices"
TYPE %Temp1% > %Temp2%
TYPE %Temp2% | FIND "\\DosDevices\\" | FIND /V "\\DosDevices\\A:" | FIND "=hex:5c," > %Temp1%
FOR /F "tokens=3 delims=\:" %%A IN (%Temp1%) DO CALL :ParseW2K %%A
SET CDROMS
DEL %Temp1%
DEL %Temp2%
ENDLOCAL & SET CDROMS=%CDROMS%
GOTO:EOF

:ParseW2K
IF DEFINED CDROMS (SET CDROMS=%CDROMS%,%1:) ELSE (SET CDROMS=%1:)
GOTO:EOF

found on this excellent batch file page, slightly edited to make it simpler:

Thanks to everybody for the responses. The problem ended up being a carraige return at the end of the xcopy line in the i386copy.cmd file. I pressed enter at the end of the line, save the file and tested, it worked.
