You can then insert either a Workbench disk or any other bootable disk such as a
game into the floppy drive on the right-hand side of the Amiga (called DF0: - Disk
Floppy Zero).
Insert your Original Workbench disk and wait for the workbench screen to appear.
Before continuing, I recommend that you make one or more copies of your original
Workbench disks to use rather than the Original as that can become damaged over
time and you may need to make other copies later.
To make a copy, get hold of a blank 880K double-density disk ready, then move the
white arrow (called a pointer) with the mouse over the Workbench 3.0 disk and click
the left mouse button once (this will select the disk), then move the pointer to the top
left of the screen and click and HOLD the right-hand mouse button and a menu
appear, make sure the Icons menu is selected, move the mouse down the menu and
select Copy

It will say 'Put the SOURCE disk (FROM disk) in drive DF0:', remove the disk from
the floppy drive, and make sure it is your original Workbench disk, at the top there is
a hole, make sure it is covered with the black tab to protect the disk during this
operation. Reinsert the disk, and with the left mouse button click once on Continue.
Once the read operation is complete, it will ask you to insert the DESTINATION (TO
disk) in drive DF0:. Press the eject button to remove your original Workbench disk,
and insert your Blank disk. Click on Continue to write the information to your new
disk.
You may need to repeat the disk swap a couple of times more until the operation is
completed. Now you will have a disk called 'copy of Workbench', you can rename this
by selecting the disk, then select Rename from the Workbench menu and change it
to just 'Workbench'. You should put your original disk somewhere safe and then use
your copy of Workbench from now on. Reboot with your new Workbench disk in DF0.
