making a copy. insert the disk in a disk drive. select the disk icon that
appears on the Workbench. then choose Initialize from the Disk menu.
Two warnings:
Initializing a disk destroys any previous information stored on a disk.
Before a disk is completely initialized. the disk drive light will go out.
then. after a brief period-from one to ten seconds-it will go on again.
Wait for the light to go out a second time before removing the disk.
Failure to do so may ruin the disk.
Duplicating Disks
To duplicate a disk. select the icon for the disk. then choose Duplicate from
the Workbench menu. Note that when you choose Duplicate. the Amiga
makes use of only one disk drive even if there are two or more drives.
Copying Disks
To copy a disk. drag its icon over the icon for a disk that will receive the
copy. If you have more than one disk drive. a requester will ask you to
insert the disk you want to copy (the source disk) into one of the drives. and
the disk to receive the copy (the destination disk) into another. (Note that
"drive 0" referred to in the requester is the internal drive. "Drive 1" is the
external drive.)
Two warnings:
Copying a disk destroys any previous information stored on the disk that
receives the copy.
If. when you copy a disk. you insert the destination disk in place of the
source disk. you will not get a message telling you that you've inserted
the wrong disk. Be sure to insert the correct disk.
