Copying the Remaining Files to the Hard Disk
Follow the instructions below to copy the files on your other
MS-DOS diskettes and the Reference diskette to drive C, the primary
partition on the hard disk:
1.
Remove the MS-DOS Startup diskette from drive A and insert
the diskette labeled Operating 1 in the drive.
2.
You should still be logged onto drive A. If not, type A :, and press
Enter.
3.
At the A> prompt, type the following and press Enter:
COPY *.* C:\DOS
MS-DOS copies all the files from the diskette to the \DOS
subdirectory on the hard disk. The file names appear on the
screen as they are copied.
4.
When the A> prompt reappears, remove the Operating I
diskette and repeat the procedure for the Operating 2 and
Reference diskettes. Store all your diskettes in a safe place.
The procedures described above copy all the files on the MS-DOS
and Reference diskettes to the \DOS subdirectory on drive C. You
may, however, want to store some of these commands in other
subdirectories so they are easier to find. (The file COMMAND.COM,
which is included on the Startup and Operating 1 diskettes, must
remain in the root directory.) For information on creating
subdirectories, see Chapter 5 or see your MS-DOS Reference Manual.
