The format of the COPY statement is:

copy source target

In your case, you are going from F to D

copy f:\path\filename.ext d:\path\filename.ext

Hope this helps. Since I had it backwards, just REPLACE the reference to D to F and F to D.

copy d:\path\filename.ext f:\path\filename.ext

If you don't know the path, run a directory list on the CD.

dir d:\*.* /s

If you're using Windows, use Explorer which will give you a visual GUI to help you out. You can drag and drop the file from Explorer.

It is not necessary to SHOUT.

filename.ext is the naming convention that is used to name files on your computer.

path is the roadmap to the address of the directory where the file lives WITHIN the file structure of your computer.

Why Explorer keeps freezing is a whole other problem. If you run a dir command on the CD as DIRECTED in my previous post, you will get both the filename.ext and path specification that you need to run the COPY command.
