Make sure you have enough formatted diskettes to back up the data on your
hard disk drive. It can take about 25 720KB diskettes to copy a 20MB hard
disk drive that is completely full (although it is rare that you would store this
many files on a hard disk).
Note
BACKUP formats unformatted target diskettes if you use the /F switch
when you enter the command. See the description of the BACKUP
command in your MS-DOS manual.
See your MS-DOS manual for complete instructions on using BACKUP
Using the Epson HELP Utility
The Epson HELP utility provides on-line information on MS-DOS
commands. You can use HELP in one of two ways:
l
You can type HELP at the command prompt and press
Enter
to display
the HELP menu.
l You can bypass the menu by typing HELP plus the name of the
command you want information about.
Note
The HELP utility requires two files, HELPCOM and HELPTXT. These files
are located on your Operating 2 diskette. To run HELP from the hard disk,
you must be logged on to the directory that contains these two files. If you
copy HELPCOM to another diskette or to a directory on your hard disk,
you must also copy HELPTXT to the same diskette or directory.
To use the HELP menu, follow these steps:
1.
Type HELP at the MS-DOS command prompt and press Enter.
2.
The screen displays a menu of MS-DOS commands. Use the cursor keys
to highlight the command you want information about and press Enter.
