Next you'll see a requester that asks you to insert the disk to receive the
copy. Take out the Workbench disk, insert one of the blank disks, then
select Continue.
Finally, there is a series of requesters asking you to exchange disks. (In
these requesters, "volume" is another term for "disk.") Insert the disk
each requester asks for, then select Continue.
When you've finished copying the disk , remove the copy and label it using
one of the self-adhesive disk labels packaged with most new disks.
Copy
the other two disks in the same way: insert the disk you want to copy,
select the icon for the disk, choose Duplicate from the Workbench menu,
then follow the instructions in the requesters . Be sure to label the copies
when you're finished.
When you've made copies of all three disks, put the original disks in a safe
place and use only the working disks. That way, if you lose or damage a
working disk, you'll be able to make another copy from the original. To
learn about proper care for your disks, see Chapter 6, "Caring for the
Amiga."
Before going on, you need to insert the newly copied Workbench disk, then
reset the Workbench. To reset, make sure the disk drive light is off, hold
down the CTRL key, the left Amiga key, and the right Amiga key at the
same time for at least half a second, then release the keys. When you reset
the Workbench, you clear the Amiga's memory-the electronic circuits the
Amiga uses to store information-then the Workbench reappears. You're
back to where you were when you first inserted the Workbench disk.
Two warnings:
NEVER reset the Workbench when a disk drive light on. Resetting
when the light is on may damage the information on the disk.
When you reset the Workbench, any work that has not been saved to
disk is lost. When you begin using the tools on the Amiga, remember
to save your work before you reset.
