My boss will be back in an hour and I need to have a dos batch file done that will install the contents of a CD onto the drive of choice.

Basically it will reside on the CD, when they click install on the autorun screen, this batch file will run, it needs to ask the user what drive to install to, make a directory on that drive, and copy the whole contents of a directory on the CD to that destination....and then say it's done. Does it need to ask what the name of the CD drive is as well? I don't know. It's been so long since I had to write batch files...I forgot most of it, and searching on the internet hasn't turned up much. Help! Please! Quick!

I know the basics md, cd, xcopy, but how do I do the variables, pause screens, and esc to exit? and messages, etc? and routines? any sample code or links would be appreciated so much.

Thanks
