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

Enter:

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.

5. When the copy is complete, you see this message:

Copy another diskette (Y/N)?

Press Y and

Enter

to copy another diskette or

N

and

Enter

to

return to the MS-DOS command prompt.
