How to Make a Backup Copy
of Your MS-DOS Disk
In this section you'll learn how to make a backup copy of your
ms-dos disk if you have two floppy disk drives. If you have a hard
disk, read the section "If You Have a Hard Disk." If you have only
one floppy disk drive, read this section, then the section "If You
Have Only One Floppy Disk Drive" at the end of this chapter.

copy the contents of disks. You need not format your blank disks
before you use the diskcopy command.
