CDROM Census Fixes
With many CDROM census' available it makes CDROM changing a real problem. Here I've noted a way of using an extra spare disk/server to store all the CDROM data on one drive and therefore no need to keep changing the CDROM every time you do a new search.
Copy the data to your census drive using such a command as:
Code: Select all
xcopy e:\*.* /s /d /y w:\or
Code: Select all
xcopy e:\*.* /s w:\e: - your CDROM drive
w: - server hard disk or addition disk to store the CDROM data.
Note:files must be copied to the root of the disk, not a sub folder

Then double tick to change the entry for the CDROM
