need help writing a .bat file to auto save to CDRW
I'd rather not use 3rd party like Nero/INCD.
I've had problem with other computers not able to read. One of the problems I've had is that they really don't 'overwrite' and I'm out of cdrw disk in a hurry. I just want to create a little .bat file that will save certain directories on C: to my F: which is a CDRW using WINXP. If the file exists in that directory, overwrite it. I realize this is low tech. I realize I may have to manually click on the 'Write these files to disk' option. My version of Quicken can do this. Forgive me for being so computer illiterate. Please and thank you. -- ----------------------------------------------------- Texas State Motto: Si, Hablo Ingles (Yes, I Speak English) ----------------------------------------------------- Bill H. in Chicagoland |

Hi, man, dont be too serious. You misunderstood the word high tech. A high tech costs a lot of money. It is about the budget. You know? Once you used your disc to WinXP(Roxio)burner, you might not use it to Nero. You can erase the disc, cant you? Find erase this disc, and erase your discs. BUT, your discs are full. It means you need more discs. I know, you want your old data disappear. Then, erase it. Yes. |

need help writing a .bat file to auto save to CDRW
Don't know about CDRW, but this works if you want to copy to another hard
disk directory. Create a batch file with something like : xcopy /R/Y /D "c:\documents and settings\Bob\My Documents\Download\*.*" "d:\Documents_Master\Download" in it. The /R /Y/D string tells is to overwrite any file if a newer file of the same name is copied across. PS - I also put a last line in the batch file with "pause" in it - gives you chance to scroll up and down the messages to make sure the copy went as intended. The window stays open till you hit a key. "FireBrick" wrote in message ... I'd rather not use 3rd party like Nero/INCD. I've had problem with other computers not able to read.
