Hi, can i copy a file from my windows xp cd(its an application) to (example:) c: directory?

How can i do that?

Here is a VBS script that checks for the CD letter then copy the file to the new location

This color is the CD file that you must file in

This color text is the location to where you copy to, you must fill it in

Save As Copy.VBS

Const OverwriteExisting = True

Dim Act, CD, Fso, strCd '''' VARIBLES FOR THE SCRIPT

Set Fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Set Act = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell") '''' VARIBLE AS A OBJECT

Set CD = Fso.Drives

For Each strCd In CD

If strCd.DriveType = 4 Then '''' CHECKS FOR THE CD OR DVD DRIVE

If Fso.FileExists(strCd & "\NAME_OF_FILE") Then '''' THIS CONFIRM IT CORRECT CD

Act.Popup "This Is A XP CD",5,"Confirm XP CD", 0 + 32

Fso.CopyFile (strCd & "\NAME_OF_FILE") , ("THE_NEW_LOCATION_FOR_FILE" ), OverwriteExisting

Else

Act.Popup "This Is Not The Correct CD",5,"Incorrect CD", 0 + 32

End If

End If

Next

You could use the following lines in a batch to detect the drive letter:

for %%i in (C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) do if exist %%i:\Win51 set CDROM=%%i:
echo Found CD-Rom as drive %CDROM%
