I think you're saying that you can see the files but don't know how to copy
them from one location to another?
Open the CD from My Computer and open your "My Documents" folder. Select
the files in the CD window that you want to copy (Edit / Select All for all
of them). Drag them with the left mouse button down to the "My Documents"
window. Note that they will be copied as Read Only files. To change this,
select them in "My Documents", right click for properties, and uncheck the
Read Only box.
