This may be easy for some of you. I suck at batch files and am getting =
=3D
stuck.
I need a batch file that will copy all the files on a floppy disk to a =
=3D
network drive location, then reformat that disk.
What I have so far is:
copy a:\*.* j:\destination
format a: /v: /q
That works fine but I would like to streamline it so all the users see =
=3D
is something like
"Please wait while the files are copied and the disk is erased..."
then when it is done the window goes away and they are back at the =3D
desktop.
The way it is happening now, they see all the file names go by one by =
=3D
one (which is not that big a deal), then they get prompted to insert a =
=3D
disk, then they get asked to format another. Then it ends. I would like =
=3D
to be able to skip all that.
I know it seems silly but my users are older and extremely intimidated =
=3D
by technology. I have to break everything down to extremely basic =3D
levels.
Thanks!
Greg
