Duplicating the CMS Diskettes

Since it is important to protect your original CMS floppy diskettes from

damage or wear, a duplicate (working copy) of each diskette was made when

CMS was installed. Keep the originals in a safe place and use them only to

make additional working copies.

If you have to make additional working copies, you need the following:

● Your PC

●

The original CMS diskettes, labeled “SYSTEM 25 CMS SYSTEM” and

“ SYSTEM 25 CMS REPORT AND ADMIN”

● Two blank diskettes

NOTE:

If you are reusing diskettes, make sure the diskettes do not

have old files on them that you need because they will be overwritten

when you copy the CMS diskettes.

In order to make duplicates of the CMS diskettes, MS-DOS (including the

“diskcopy” and “diskc omp” commands) must already be on the hard disk.

MS-DOS (including these commands) was installed on your PC’s hard disk

when CMS was first installed.

NOTE:

PC responses may be slightly different from the ones printed here,

depending on the version of MS-DOS you are using.

Insert the original CMS diskette labeled “SYSTEM 25 CMS SYSTEM, ” into

drive A with the label of the diskette facing upwards, and the notch in the

side of the diskette on the left. When you hear a click, indicating that the

diskette has been fully inserted, press down the latch on drive A until you

feel the latch lock.

This diskette is the “source” diskette, the diskette that contains the

information being copied.
