You could also use at dos prompt: xcopy d:\*.* c:\myfolder /s s is there to make sure you copy folders and subfolders. You should make a folder on your hard drive where you will copy the CD's content.d is the cd-rom drive and c is the hard drive.Put in the correct path for your PC. md c:\myfolder Good luck.
