COPY FLOPPY — Making a Backup Copy of a Disk
The COPY function lets you duplicate the contents of one entire disk (the source
disk) on another disk (the destination disk). It is a good practice to regularly
back up your valuable data, including the OS disk which came with the EPS-16
PLUS, in this way,
Warning: This procedure uses the internal memory to temporarily hold the information
while copying it between disks. Anything in the internal memory before you start
will be erased. Save any important data before copying a disk.
To Make a Backup Copy of a Disk:
• Slide the plastic write-protect tab on the source disk—the original — so that
the disk is write protected (you can see through the hole). This is an extra
precaution to safeguard the data.
• Press Command, then the System•MIDI button.
• Press the Right Arrow button repeatedly until the display shows COPY
FLOPPY.
• Press Enter•Yes. The display shows FUNCTION=COPY FLOPPY.
• Press Enter•Yes.
• At this point a prompt will appear in the display telling you that the internal
memory must be erased. Press the Enter•Yes button to continue.
• The EPS-16 PLUS now asks you to insert the source disk (the one you want to
copy). Insert the source disk, then press Enter•Yes.
• The drive will engage and the display will flash READING SOURCE DISK.
Once the drive stops, the display will change to show INSERT BEST DISK.
• Insert the destination disk (the one you want to copy to), then press
Enter•Yes.
• The drive will engage and the display will flash WRITING DEST DISK. Once
the drive stops, the display will change to show INSERT SOURCE DISK.
. • Repeat the preceding four steps as prompted by the EPS-16 PLUS display until
the display reads DISK COMMAND COMPLETED.
Note: When a disk is copied, the Disk Label Number is copied from the source disk to
the destination disk.
COPY FLOPPY messages:
• DISK WRTTE-PROTECTED — When asked for the destination disk you
inserted a write-protected disk. The destination disk must have the write-protect
window closed.
• DISK IS NOT SOURCE DISK or DISK IS NOT DESTINATION DISK —
You put the wrong disk in the drive when prompted for a certain disk. This is
not fatal; it doesn't abort the copy procedure. Just insert the asked-for disk and
proceed.
