The XCOPY command should be adequate FROM WITHIN WINDOWS...go to a DOS box
and the "h" switch will work.  (I assume you are creating an "intermediate"
directory to hold the CD-intended files.)  You could also use the Windows
Explorer (check to be sure that VIEW/FOLDER OPTIONS/VIEW is set to "show all
files") - also be careful not to include the SWAP file or the copy process
will be interrupted.
