Okay,I copy files in DOS all the time and use copy or Xcopy ,what switch copies subdirectories. Example:
ASUS MOBO driver disk:
I would usually use.In DOS.
C:\>MD ASUSDRV
d:
copy *.* c:\asusdrv

It doesn't copy all the Directories,just whats in the root.
I am probably missing the switch but can't remember if it was XCOPY or COPY

More specifically:

xcopy d:\asusdrv\. c:\asusdrv /s (/e to include empty subdirectories)
