I just bought a new computer and I want to install windows 98 from a burned copy but there is a file missing so I want to do a flat copy of the disk on my hard drive to install windows from there. I have this file on my other that I've place on a floppy. What are the command to type if i want to copy my folder win98 from the cd to c:>win98 and all the data from the floppy to the same folder. I hope you understand my problem.

If your CD is the d:\ drive and the Windows 98 files are in the win98 directory, then here it is:

copy d:\win98\*.* c:\win98

the *.* will copy all the files found in the d:\win98
directory

For the a: floppy drive,

copy a:\*.* c:\win98
