I want to format a USB key a particular way and copy certain files to it. I would like to automate this because I will be setting up a few USB keys....any ideas on a good way of getting this started? I want to make a master batch file that sets this up.

I have the code that will format and copy the files to the USB key. I was wondering if I could pause and wait allow the user to hit enter when the next usb key is plugged in. Any help with pausing until a user hits the enter key.

I want to ask the person how many times they want to run this code..... wait for a reply then loop through the code until we reach the last number......

Like this?

Code: Select all

set /p num=Enter the number of times you want to loop:
set count=1
:loop
cls
echo This is pass #%count% of %num%.
echo Press enter when the USB key is ready . . .
pause >nul
echo Put code here
set /a count+=1
if %count% LEQ %num% goto loop
