Using DISKCOPY with two diskette drives
When you use the DISKCOPY command with two diskette drives, be
sure to specify both diskette drives (A: and B:). If you don't, MS-DOS
copies the diskette in drive A to a second diskette that you insert in
drive A, requiring you to swap diskettes during the copy process.
(MS-DOS prompts you when you need to change diskettes.)
1.
Make sure your original diskette is write-protected. (See Chapter
4 for instructions.)
2.
If your system has a hard disk, log onto the directory where the
file DISKCOPY.COM is stored. Otherwise, insert your working
copy of the MS-DOS Operating 1 diskette in drive A.
3.
At the command prompt, type the following and press
DISKCOPY A: B:
MS-DOS prompts you to insert your diskettes:
Insert SOURCE diskette in drive A:
Insert TARGET diskette in drive B:
Press any key when ready . . .
4.
Insert the diskette you want to copy from (the source) into drive
A and the diskette you want to copy to (the target) into drive B.
Then press any key. DISKCOPY checks to see if the target
diskette is formatted. If it is not, DISKCOPY formats the diskette.
The copy operation begins when the format is complete.
