I need to copy files from numerous CD's onto a server. I want to store the contents of each CD in a folder named after the volume name of the CD. There are about 4 CD's that have duplicate volume names so I will need a way to prevent those CD's from over writing each other's folders. All I need is a way to abort when the duplicate folder is encountered and I can manually handle those few CD's.

All the folders will be stored in a main folder on the server.

I have worked in DOS in the past so I would feel comfortable writing a batch file if I had the syntax for creating the commands

Neil_Wilson, name the folders "xyz" + "1,2,3,4...A,B,C,D"...etc.? That'll make each unique and eliminate confusion.
