From dos - 2 commands that might work for you -

assumption: dvd drive is E:
assumption: dir on c: to be copied to is called 'dvd'

c:\>copy E: *.* c:\dvd\

There's also a tag you can use at the end of that command to make it look for and copy anything in any subdirectories as well, but I can't remember it offhand. Copy ? might help you find it.

There also used to be a command called 'diskcopy' which was used like this -

c:\dvd\>diskcopy e:

not sure if that one exists beyond dos 6.0 though.


Luck to ya!

[edit] oops. next time I read the entire post before going to the solutions. try this -

dir e: | c:\filename.txt

hope that helped! [/edit]
