Could someone help an old man out with CMD prompt.I have some important data
on 4 CD-RW disks everytime I put in drive computer stalls then gives
incorrect size saying cds are 300mb or 260 mb etc although they are 700.what
is the command to use to copy these from say E drive (cdrw/dvd) to F drive
CD-RW. I use F for recording

you should be using the cdburning ability built in to xp, to burn cd's
and you need to state clearly what it is you want to do.
copy from one drive to another is simple from the windows environment, just
select the file, right click, select copy, select the destination and click
paste, and find the burn to cd option and burn them to cd.

Why would want to complicate the issue with a cmd line

What software was used to create these disks? If it was by 3rd party packet
writing software you need the same software installed on your computer to
read them, or possibly a udf reader.

Did not think I would have to detail such a question. XP built in feature
created the data cd's. why I wish to use a command line is as I stated
neither drive can read the data XP wrote to the CD-RW Disks. when I attempt
to either open or explore computer stalls freezes locks up or what ever your
terminology may be. bottom line is I cannot copy or move data if XP can't
read it. CMD DISKCOPY copies floppy to another. RECOVER [DRIVE:] [PATH]
FILENAME is example can this be used ? again doesen't make a damn bit of
difference what burning program made XP can't read.
