The MENU utility makes it easy to perform these functions. See the section on MENU later in this chapter. You can also use the MS-DOS XCOPY command to copy entire subdirectories of files. See your MS-DOSmanuals for details.

Using DISKCOPY

The DISKCOPY command lets you copy an exact image of one diskette onto another diskette as long as the two diskettes are the same size and type. You cannot use DISKCOPY to copy data from a 3 ‘/z-inch diskette to a 5 ‘/+-inch diskette or to copy data from a 1.44MB diskette to a 720KB diskette. You also cannot use DISKCOPY to copy data between a hard disk and a diskette.

To use DISKCOPY, follow these steps:

1.Make sure your original diskette (the one you are copying from) is write-protected. (See Chapter 2 for instructions.)

2.If necessary, log onto drive C. If you are not in the directory containing the file DISKCOPY.COM, use the CD command to change to that directory.

3.Type the following and press Enter:
