Copy the CD files to C:\users\(youraccount)\Documents
Do not try to copy to the My Documents junction. It is not a directory.

If the files are Read-only, you will have to change that after copying.

Start - Computer (on the right side)

you will see all of your drives.

open your cd drive by double-clicking on it.

highlight the files you want, right-click and select "Copy"

click on your C: drive
and go to \users\(youraccount)\Documents
right-click and select "Paste"
