Copying files onto a
hard disk
To copy files onto your newly formatted hard disk, you must use
the copy command. This command is automatically loaded into
your computer's memory when you start MS· DOS.
To copy your MS·DOS master disk onto a hard disk (drive C),
follow
these steps:
[I] Make sure that the MS· DOS master disk is in drive A.
[lJ At the MS· DOS prompt, type the following command:
copy a:*.* c:
This command tells MS· DOS to copy all files on drive A to
drive C.
[]] Press the RETURN key.
The copy program then lists each file on the screen as it is copied
onto the new disk. When the process is complete, MS· DOS shows
you how many files it has copied.
You
now have two MS·DOS disks: the MS·DOS master disk and the
copy you have just made on your hard disk.
Master disk copied to hard disk
Now, put the master disk in a safe place, away from dust, mois-
ture,
and magnetism. You can use this disk to make another copy
if anything happens to your hard disk.
