Copying System Diskettes
Now that you have started your system and loaded MS-DOS, it
is important that you make copies of your MS-DOS diskettes
right away. Use the copies (called working copies) as they are
needed and store the originals in a safe place.
Each of the system diskettes is formatted for 36OKB.
(Formatting prepares a diskette to store data and is described in
Chapter 3 and Chapter 5.)
To copy them, you need seven 36OKB doubledensity, 5 1/4-inch
diskettes.
Note
If you do not have any 36OKB diskettes, you can use
unformatted 1.2MB diskettes. When copying from 36OKB
diskettes, the DISKCOPY program formats the 1.2MB
diskettes for 36OKB.
