Subject:	SCOUG-Help: More flash drive humor...

Ok, I approached this from another angle. Rather than "burn" this from
the .iso, I remembered that xcopy could set up a hard drive to boot from.
So, I thought that I'd try using xcopy to copy the demo to the flash
drive.

Using xcopy S:\ F:\ /h/o/t/s/e/r/v, where S is my cd drive, and F is my
flash, I tried this. However, after boot.cat, which is in S:\bootimgs,
came up, I received an error message:

SYS1187: XCOPY cannot access the target file.

I'm speculating that maybe there's something special about that file. A
look at its attributes doesn't show that it's a system or hidden file.
It's read only, but so are all the files on the cd.

Time to stop and give up?
