5. Insert your diskettes and press any key.
6. DISKCOPY checks to see if the destination
diskette is formatted. If it is not, DISKCOPY
formats the diskette. You see the message:
Formatting while copying
7. The copy operation begins when the format is
complete. You see this message:
Copying 40 tracks
9 sectors/track, 2 side(s)
8. When the copy is complete, you see the messages:
Copy complete
Copy another (Y/N) ?
Your diskette has now been copied and you can
either make another copy or leave the DISKCOPY
command. Press Y to perform another copy or N
to end the DISKCOPY command.
When you use the DISKCOPY command, you don’t
need to enter the disk drive descriptors (A: and B:). If
you omit them, MS-DOS copies the diskette in drive
A to a second diskette that you insert in drive A. You
must swap diskettes in the A drive during the copy
process. MS-DOS displays prompts to advise you
when you need to change diskettes.
