I am making a cd that will auto run xcopy, to copy a file from the same cd to my hard disk. I got it to work but it only works if my cd-rom drive letter is the same letter used in the xcopy file. I was wondering if there is a command to replace the drive letter so that I can use xcopy from any cd-rom reguardless of drive letter. Can anyone help me.

Use the /L: switch in your MSCDEX.exe line to tuck the drive nicely out of the way. For example: C:\DOS\MSCDEX.exe /L:x /S /D:mscd001 Now the drive is always X:\
