DISKCOPY formats it automatically before copying the data.
The following procedure for copying diskettes assumes that you
have a hard disk. If you do not, see “Using DISKCOPY with
one drive only” below.
If you have a hard disk and two diskette drives, see “Using
DISKCOPY with two diskette drives” below.
