This means the operating system is ready for you to enter a
command. The command prompt identifies the current operating
drive: A, B, or C, for example. Usually, drive A is the top diskette
drive; B is the second diskette drive, C is the first hard disk drive, and
D is used for a second hard disk drive.
The command prompt appears on the screen whenever you load
MS-DOS, complete an MS-DOS command, or exit an application
program.
10 Copying System Diskettes
Now that you have set up your system and loaded
MS-DOS, it is important that you make copies of your four system
diskettes right away. Use only the copies (usually called “working
copies”) for daily use and store the originals in a safe place.
To copy your system diskettes, you need four blank, 360KB, double-
sided, double-density, 5¼-inch diskettes. (Although you will probably
be using 1.2MB diskettes in your Equity 386, the system diskettes
have a capacity of 360KB. There ore, you must use 360KB diskettes to f
make the copies.)
Follow these steps:
1. Remove the Startup diskette from the diskette drive by turning
the latch up and pulling out the diskette. Then insert the diskette
labelled “Operating 1 ” and turn the latch down to secure the
diskette. The Operating 1 diskette contains the DISKCOPY
program which you will use to make the copies.
