Best way to copy cd contents to hard drive?

I was wondering if you use xcopy to copy cd contents (such as, WIN2k installation cd, software, games, etc.) to your hard drive. I am concerned that if I copy the cd via windows that some of the hidden files will not be copied. I want to copy a few installation cd's to a Windows 2000 Server machine for network installs. What is the most common way to do this? I do not think xcopy is an option with xp. Can I just drag the cd contents with windows explorer and expect everything to be copied.
 
xcopy should work just fine for you in XP. I believe if you use xcopy /e it will copy everything from the CD to the hard drive (including hidden files).

use: xcopy source destination /e and it should do what you want it to do
