how to have a cp progress bar?

Hi all,
This is a reformed post to my earlier ones!!!!!!

I would like to know how to include a progress bar while using the cp...
I am copying a few huge files from cdrom but am unable to figure out ,how to give a progress bar!!!!!

I checked out other sites as well,but the issue here is that,this cp is happenning in one of the boot scripts during boot time!!!

So i cannot have other explicit executable scripts that run within an already running script, also i tried converting some script to functions and passing these files as args,but didnt work!!!!

So could you pls give out some scripts (plain scripts) that do the job?

Thanks
