Calling API functions

Greetings everybody. I'm trying to write a simple routine to copy selected folders and their sub-folders and files from a HDD to a RW disc as a form of backup. It should prompt the user to insert the correct disc and to recognise the disc name.
Anybody got any suggestions?
Thanks.

Thanks for the link. It does the job but requires a bit of input from the user. My user (my wife) is not exactly computer literate and needs something idiot proof. I have a batch file which does the job using the 'replace' command but it isn't very elegant. I'd like for her to be prompted to insert the disc which the progam verifies, and then copies/replaces the folders/files on the disc. These won't change but if they do I can add/modifiy the code as necessary. Finally, the disc should be ejected on completion.
If you can write up something which is even close, that would be a big help and I thank you for your interest and for coming back to me so promptly.

I probably won't have time
I probably won't have time to write that program up, but if as you work on it you ask specific questions of any snags you run into I would be glad to try to help answer them.
