I was still wondering about the question that John is asking. Does anyone =
have any suggestions or confirmation? I haven't used doslfnbk but would =
it solve the problem if a separate partition was reserved for the contents =
of the data (ie. run doslfnbk against the contents of the CD and then run =
doslfnbk restore in the partition after the data had been copied over to th=
e HD, and then run repeat the process later when going from the HD to the n=
ew CD). I assume it has to be a stand-alone partition and not just a dire=
ctory within a partition that contains other data.=20=20

Subject: [xxcopy] Copying a CD to the hard drive

I want to copy the contents of a CD to my hard drive. The CD contains about=
50 MB of files. My goal is to take this CD and others and burn them to a n=
ew CD. I want the copy to be an exact duplicate of the original. The proble=
m is the short file names are not duplicated on the HD. Using /CLONE, I can=
get the ones with the single digit (eg: TESTAB~7.GIF) to duplicate. But so=
me of the original filenames have 3 digits (eg: TEST~123.GIF) and these are=
changed to single digits when copying.

Does anyone know of a way to make XXCOPY duplicate the original short name =
when copying? Or is there another program that will create an exact copy o=
f my CD files. I just hate to use a full CD to copy just 50 MB. I normall=
y try to accumulate close to 600 MB of files on my HD before burning a new =
CD.

John
