Need a message box that says insert cd#?

[kurt476]

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:

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?

how come i can't get the message box too say please insert wpi cd#1 into cdrom drive f:?

i tryed my way:

cdr  F: Nircmd.exe show please insert wpi cd#1 into the cdrom drive F:

[Lucius Snow]

Try :

Nircmd.exe infobox "please insert wpi cd#1 into the cdrom drive F:"
