Warning The format program destroys any information that is
on a disk. It's a good idea to list the directory of a disk that con
tains files before you format it; then you will be sure that you
aren't destroying important files.
The Diskcopy Command
You may often need to make copies of entire disks instead of
individual files. You can do this easily with the ms-dos diskcopy
command. To use the diskcopy command, you must have:
■ an ms-dos disk
■ a disk you want to copy
■ a blank disk to put the copy on
