I had also the same problem before, but I found that I had to copy the precise
directory tree structure to my HD.
For example if you want to copy all distributions, the following comand should
work for you: (it assumes that C is your HD directory, and E is where your CD
was mounted.)
C:> XCOPY /S E: C:\FREEBSD
If you just want to copy the basic systems, just do this:
C:> MD C:\FREEBSD\BIN
C:> XCOPY /S E:\BIN C:\FREEBSD\BIN
C:> MD C:\FREEBSD\FLOPPIES
C:> XCOPY /S E:\FLOPPIES C:\FREEBSD\FLOPPIES
Hope this will help.
