Insert SOURCE diskette in drive A:
Press any key when ready . . .
3. Drive A already contains the diskette you want to copy
(the source), so just press any key. The DISKCOPY
program copies the contents of the diskette to the
computer’s memory.
Note
Because the 720KB MS-DOS diskette holds more data than
can fit in the computer’s 640KB of memory, the computer
needs to copy the contents of the diskette in two passes.
The screen prompts you when to insert and remove the
diskettes.
Then the screen displays these prompts:
Insert TARGET diskette in drive A:
Press any key when ready . . .
4. Remove the MS-DOS system diskette from drive A (press
the release button to release the diskette) and insert the
blank diskette (the target) in the drive. Then press any key.
If the diskette in drive A is not formatted, the DISKCOPY
program formats it. Then the program begins copying the
data from the computer’s memory to the formatted diskette.
When it has copied all the files from memory, DISKCOPY
displays these prompts on the screen:
Insert SOURCE diskette in drive A:
Press any key when ready . . .
5.
Remove the copy diskette from the drive and insert the
original MS-DOS diskette. Press any key.
The program copies the rest of the files from the original
diskette to the computer’s memory and then displays these
prompts on the screen:
Insert TARGET diskette in drive A:
Press any key when ready . . .
