Alrighty then...
I have a stack of files on one ( up to two ) CD's. I want to transfer files OFF of the CD's ONTO the Hard-drive.
I currently was using this:
Code:
:: disc_one_updater.bat
:: This file updates the engineeringAtlas files on c from DISC 1
:: Then it prompts the user to replace disc 1 with disc 2
::
@ECHO OFF
for %%a 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 %%a:\autorun.inf set CDROM=%%a
xcopy %CDROM%:\TransferFiles_Disc1 C:\ /Y /E
:STEP_I
IF EXIST %CDROM%:\TransferFiles_Disc2\nul GOTO STEP_2
CLS
ECHO ****************************************************
ECHO * *
ECHO * PLEASE REPLACE DISC 1 WITH DISC 2 PLEASE. *
ECHO * *
ECHO ****************************************************
GOTO STEP_I
:STEP_2
CLS
ECHO ****************************************************
ECHO * *
ECHO * THANK YOU. COMMENCING WITH UPDATE. *
ECHO * *
ECHO ****************************************************
for %%a 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 %%a:\autorun.inf set CDROM=%%a
xcopy %CDROM%:\TransferFiles_Disc2 C:\ /Y /E
:STEP_3
IF NOT EXIST %CDROM%:\nul GOTO THEEND
CLS
ECHO ****************************************************
ECHO * *
ECHO * THANKS! PLEASE REMOVE DISC 2 FROM THE DRIVE NOW. *
ECHO * UPDATE FINISHED! *
ECHO * *
ECHO ****************************************************
GOTO STEP_3
:THEEND
EXIT
Now this worked WHEN I HAD ADMINSTRATOR rights... But when I drop it into a regular LapTop with WinXP, XP craps all over it. It completely Bypasses the XCOPY command. Ignores it...
Anyone have a working solution already? Or at least a pointer for me? I am fairly competent with BATCH Files, but I would be open to other solutions.
Thanks In Advance!
