To your current hard disk, or do you mean eventually the hard disk of the new system that will get installed from the CD?

Also, what are you trying to accomplish? Why can't you use the $OEM$ folder?

I don't know much about "TXTSETUP.SIF" but couldn't you add an entry to "TXTSETUP.SIF" and put your file or files in the i386 directory? It should copy those files just like normal system files.

Im pretty sure xp uses "TXTSETUP.SIF" to copy files to hard drive while installing i don't know much about the entries in "TXTSETUP.SIF" but i'm sure there's info on this board or through google.

Using COPY or XCOPY commands from a batch file is pretty simple, with stating the exact path to the file you want to copy.

@Outbreaker: one thing I learned in the forums is that sharing the solution to a problem is beneficial in many ways: it is accessible to everyone, it is easier to find and prevents posting on the same problem, thus giving time for others to focus on other problems. So, that's something to think about.

Cheers
