try copying the cd into a subdirectory with the "xcopy /c" command under
windows dos box, that shud do the trick of copying dirs with trans.tbl
file.. (that file will be skipped and xcopy will give an error)... also i
think that u might need to mount yr dos partition first before u can give a
base dir....
