say D:\ is your cdrom drive, and c:\cd is the folder you want to copy it to...

xcopy D:\*.* c:\cd


should work

It does'nt seem to work, it copies all the files from that drive/folder. i need the command to copy ALL files/folders/sub-folders automatically to the destination i want. Anyone?

C:\>xcopy d:\ c:\cd /e /s

The /E and /S will copy subfolders that contain stuff and don't contain stuff.
