Hi Sybil,
The easiest way to do this is to open two windows, one of My Pictures and one of My Computer. Arrange them on the screen so you can see them both at the same time (e.g. side by side). Navigate the My Computer window to the CD drive where your pictures are. Navigate the other one to the folder where you intend to put the pictures (creating a new folder for them if necessary).
Then select the required pictures on the CD (you can select them all with Control-A) and drag them to the target folder in the other window.
Once the pictures have been copied to your hard drive, you can edit them, etc, as you wish.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for your reply. I think I should have made clear that I am very new to computers I dont know how to arrange the two windows side by side for instance they appear one in front of the other. Could you explain step by step please ?

Hi Sybil
If you put your mouse pointer on the bar at the top of the front window and hold your left mouse button down, you will be able to drag it away from the other window to enable you to see both at the same time.
