Remove the copy of the Operating 1 diskette (which you just
made) and insert the Operating 2 diskette. Then follow the
instructions above and the prompts on the screen to make a copy
of this diskette.

Repeat the procedure for the Startup and Reference diskettes.

When you finish copying the last diskette and the Copy
another diskette (Y/N)?
prompt appears, press

to return
to the MS-DOS command prompt.
After you have copied the four system diskettes, be sure to label them
carefully so you know which one is which. Write on the labels before
you attach them to the diskettes to prevent damaging the diskettes.
Store the originals in a safe place and use the copies.
