Note
You can also copy files using XTREE, MENU, or XCOPY. See the sections
later in this chapter on using the XTREE and MENU utilities, and see your
MS-DOS manual for more information on the XTREE and XCOPY
commands.
Deleting a directory
If you no longer need a directory, you can remove it with the RMDIR
(remove directory) command. To remove a directory, first delete any files it
contains or move them to another directory. You cannot delete a directory
that is not empty.
To delete an empty directory, such as the ACCOUNTS directory under
LEDGER, type the following and press
Enter:
RMDIR \LEDGER\ACCOUNTS
You must give the complete path name when deleting a directory not in the
current path.
Formatting Diskettes
Before you can store data on a new diskette, you must format it. Formatting
prepares the diskette so that MS-DOS can write to it. You need to do this
only once, before you use the diskette for the first time.
You can also reformat previously used diskettes. This process erases all data
on the diskette. Always be sure you do not want to save any of the data on
a used diskette before you format it.
The formatting procedure you use depends on whether your computer has
one or two diskette drives and whether it has a hard disk. Follow the
instructions below for your computer model.
