DISKCOPY
[source drive:] [target drive:] [11]
Makes exact copies of the diskette in the source drive on the
diskette in the target drive.
Parameters
source drive: is the drive containing the diskette you want to
copy.
target drive: is the drive containing the diskette to receive the
copy.
/1 copies only the first side of a diskette.
Notes and Suggestions
• If the source and target drives are the same, DISKCOPY per-
forms a single-drive copy. It prompts you to insert the
diskettes at the appropriate times. Press the space bar to
continue.
• If you omit the target drive specification, DISKCOPY uses the
current drive.
If you omit both drive specifications, DISKCOPY does a sin-
gle-drive copy on the current drive. (This assumes that the
DISKCOPY.COM file is in the current directory, so that MS-
DOS can find it, or that you use PATH beforehand to tell MS-
DOS where to look for the file.)
• After copying, DISKCOPY prompts:
Copy complete
Copy another (Y/N)?_
If you press
Y,
DISKCOPY prompts you to insert the diskettes.
Then it performs the next copy, using the drives you specified
earlier.
If you press
N,
DISKCOPY exits the COPY command.
• You can use DISKCOPY to duplicate your MS-DOS diskette.
