my .bat file to send to the CDRW doesn't work

[FireBrick]

I wrote a .bat file to write files to my CDRW.
It would work with INCD,
but I found those disks were not always read by other machines in my LAN.
when I tried just using XP's system
and I won't write the files to the holding temp file
my bat command is:

Xcopy "C:\DXB2005\*.mdb" "F:\" /D /Y
with this one I get the 'Access denied' message

"C:\WINDOWS\Dxb2005.ini" "F:\DXB5\" /D /Y
If I try it this way, I get a "Unable to create directory" message
makes no difference if the directory is there or not
I tried it both ways.

I'm curious, can I designate it to be sent to the temp file XP uses prior to
the 'Write these files to disk" command????

Is there a way to automate this WITHOUT buying more bloated software with
features I don' need.

Please and thank you.

Where xxx should be replaced by your user name, try copying to
: "C:\Documents and Settings\xxx\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CD Burning"

Include the quotes and that within. You need quotes for paths.
Browse there first to ensure that the path matches your machine.

Hi

Not bloated I think:

CreateCD - Windows XP and Windows 2003 CD Recording utility
http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/CreateCD.htm

CreateCD utility is designed as a command-line-based alternative to
the GUI-based CD-Recording process in Windows XP and Windows 2003.

The inbuilt burning is *not* a packet mode like InCD, and cannot be used
as output medium for a program.

What it does is stash files in a holding area in order to burn a batch
of them later as an ISO 'session'. If that would be OK, then you could
arrange to write the files into that with your batch file, to use Write
to CD when enough had accumulated. It is by default the folder
C:\Documents and Settings\youraccount\Local Settings\Application Data\
Microsoft\CD Burning
but you can use the Tweak UI powertoy to change to a more convenient
one.

Or use InCD and take along the udfreader program you can download from
www.nero.com to the other machines
