Copying straight to cd

[Helpmeh]

Is it possible to copy a file straight to a cd via batch, as in without another program?

If the cd has drive-letter-access, e.g. in Windows packet writing, then yes.

Ohh. I heard a while back that you had to burn the files to the cd.

[Salmon Trout]

What are you wanting to do? If you want to create a data cd that anybody can put in a CD drive and read, you have to burn the disk, but if you just want to use a CD or DVD disk as a giant floppy, then you can just copy the files from the command prompt, if you have DLA enabled. if you are talking about real MS-DOS, that is another story altogether.

I am trying to copy quite a few files scattered around my computer to cds. No, this is not actual MS-DOS, that's older than me!

[Salmon Trout]

Well, CD burning apps like Nero, Roxio etc have a GUI where you can drag and drop files from Windows Explorer until the disk capacity is reached.

[Helpmeh]

But is it possible to have a batch file just copy them onto a disk? Like

@echo off
Copy file1 D:\folder
Copy file2 D:\folder
Etc.

Without downloading any other programs like nero.

[Salmon Trout]

do you have DLA?
