Using DISKCOPY

The DISKCOPY command lets you copy an exact image of one

diskette onto another diskette as long as the two diskettes are

the same size and type. You cannot use DISKCOPY to copy

data from a 3

diskette to a 5

diskette or to copy

data from a 1.44MB diskette to a 720KB diskette. You also

cannot use DISKCOPY to copy data between a hard disk and a

diskette.

To

use DISKCOPY, follow these steps:

1. Make sure your original diskette (the one you are copying

from) is write-protected. (See Chapter 2 for instructions.)

2. If necessary, log onto drive C. If you are not in the directory

containing the file DISKCOPY.COM, use the CD

command to change to that directory.

3. Type the following and press Enter:

D I S K C O P Y A : A :

MS-DOS displays this message:

I n s e r t S O U R C E

d i s k e t t e i n d r i v e A :
