Copying System Diskettes
Follow the steps below to make copies of your two
system diskettes. It is very important that you use only the
copies (usually called "working" copies) for daily use and store
the originals in a safe place.
The procedure for copying a diskette depends on whether
your computer is the dual diskette drive model or the hard disk
model, which has only one 3 -inch diskette drive. Follow the
procedure for your model, described below. You will need two
blank, 3 -inch, 720KB, double-sided diskettes.
When you finish making the copies, be sure to put the
originals away.
Copying with two diskette drives
1. If it is not already in the drive, insert your MS-DOS system
diskette in drive A (and press any key, if necessary). The
A> prompt should be on the screen.
2. Insert a blank 3 -inch 720KB diskette in drive B, on the
left side of the computer.
