The Floppydisk; Copying Entire Floppy Disks - AT&T Unix Owner's Manual

Using Floppy Disks
If you have left open any folders or files that are
stored on the floppy disk, these windows remain on the
screen. You will be prompted to close these windows
before you can remove the floppy disk from the drive.
Before you remove the floppy disk from the drive or
lift the drive lever, you must wait until the red light
is off. Be very careful to do this; otherwise, you may
damage data on your floppy disk.
Note
To avoid accidental damage to a floppy disk
frpm a remote system, never leave floppy
disks in the floppy disk drive after you are
through using them.
Copying Entjre Floppy Disks
The Floppy Disk Copy selection copies the entire
contents of one floppy disk onto another formatted
floppy disk. You cannot specify individual folders or
files to copy. For information on how to copy selected
folders and files, see "Copying or Moving Folders and
Files to the Floppydisk" in this chapter.
Only floppy disks that have been formatted to work with
the UNIX PC can be copied with this procedure. You can
use this selection to copy your System Software disks.
You cannot use this selection to duplicate MS-DOS
disks.
The floppy disk that contains the files you want to
copy is called the source diskette; the formatted
floppy disk that you are copying to is called the
target diskette. Be sure your target disks are
formatted before you begin the floppy disk copy
procedure. Also, be sure your target disks do not
contain any files you want to keep. The Floppy Disk
Copy selection copies over any existing files on the
target disk.
To copy the entire contents of one floppy disk onto
another:
1 Point to I FloppydiskI in the Office window.
2 Press <Enter> or <Bl>.
