Get the wait utility from the resource kit and put it in the path to keep
the message on the screen for 20 seconds
Echo Please wait while the files are copied and the disk is erased...
wait 20
Echo off
copy a:\*.* j:\destination
format a: /v: /q
Exit

Subject: [windows2000] Batch File
This may be easy for some of you. I suck at batch files and am getting =
stuck.
I need a batch file that will copy all the files on a floppy disk to a =
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 =
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 =
desktop.
The way it is happening now, they see all the file names go by one by =
one (which is not that big a deal), then they get prompted to insert a =
disk, then they get asked to format another. Then it ends. I would like =
to be able to skip all that.
I know it seems silly but my users are older and extremely intimidated =
by technology. I have to break everything down to extremely basic =
levels.
Thanks!
Greg
