A UNIX PC floppy disk has a limited capacity. You
should not copy or move a large amount of data to it at
one time. It is safe to copy or move data on~ or two
files at a time, unless the files are very large. If a
file is too large to fit on one disk, separate it into
two files and save it on two floppy disks.
If you see the message Error in writing (filename) to
floppydisk, this usually means that the floppy disk
does not have enough space to hold the file. Note the
name of the file and try again to copy or move it to a
different floppy disk. If you are attempting to copy
or move one extremely large file to a blank floppy disk
and you receive the Error in writing (filename) to
floppydisk message, you will have to split the large
file into two or more smaller files.
