Because of these incompatibilities, always indicate the diskette
type and density when you label your diskettes. (Usually this

information appears on the manufacturer’s label.)

If you have any combination of the above drives (1.2MB,

360KB, 1.44MB, or 720KB), you can copy files from one drive

to another-using the COPY or XCOPY command-as long as
the

correct

diskette type is in each drive. You can also use these

commands to copy files between a hard disk and any type of

diskette. However, you cannot use the DISKCOPY command to

copy from one diskette drive to another if the two drives are not

the same type. For more about MS-DOS commands, see your

MS-DOS Reference Manual.
