Remove the diskette and put it away in its envelope
because we are through with this example.
Copying a File to Another Diskette
Using One Drive
Remember, with only one diskette drive, you will need
to exchange diskettes while COpy is running. DOS will
tell you when the change must be made by showing you
a message.
COPY's messages sound as if you had two drives instead
of one. You should think of the messages as referring
to diskettes instead of drives.
For our examples, think of your original diskette as the
~
"drive A:" diskette. Think of the back-up diskette as
the "drive B:" diskette. (Even though you have no drive
B:, the command is the same for one drive or two. The
computer keeps track of the real drive A: and the
"imaginary" drive B:.)
