When the process is complete, the prompt
A>
will be displayed on the screen.
Repeat this procedure for all original diskettes. Before using the diskette(s) to install
the new program, it is a good idea to make backup copies of the working copy. If the
working copy is ever lost or damaged, you will have a backup copy and will not have
to create a new working copy from the original(s).
Making Backups — Single Floppy System
Insert the
MS-DOS
diskette into drive
A
. Type:
diskcopy a: b: <ENTER>
A message similar to the following appears:
Insert SOURCE diskette in drive A:
Strike any key when ready
Wait for the disk drive indicator light to go off. Remove the
MS-DOS
disk from drive
A
and insert the working copy diskette (the source) into the drive. Press any key. The
disk drive indicator light will come on to indicate that the copying is in progress. The
MS-DOS
software copies as much of the diskette as it can into the PC's memory and
then displays the following message:
Insert TARGET diskette in drive A:
Strike any key when ready
Remove the working copy (source) diskette, insert the new (target) diskette, and
press any key. It is not necessary to preformat the new diskette; the diskcopy
command will do this for you. Depending on the amount of memory in your computer,
you may be prompted to repeat this several times. When the copy is complete, the
following message will appear:
Copying complete
Copy another (Y/N)?
If you wish to make additional backups, type
y
and follow the same instructions. If
you are done, type an
n
and
<ENTER>
. When the prompt
A>
appears, wait for the
disk drive indicator light to go OFF and remove floppy. Label the backup floppy with
an appropriate label (for example, Lucent Technologies DDM-2000 FiberReach
Release a.b.c - working copy backup).
