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
‘/z-inch
diskette to a 5
‘/+-inch
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.

containing the file DISKCOPY.COM, use the CD
command to change to that directory.
3.
Type the following and press Enter:
