See “SET” in this chapter.

DOS VERIFY

Use DOS VERIFY to verify that data written to a local drive is not written to

a bad sector and can be read without an error.

Command Format

DOS VERIFY [ON|OFF]

Using DOS VERIFY

The DOS COPY and NCOPY commands do not automatically verify that

data copied to a local drive can be read after the copy.

To assure veriﬁcation of each copy operation after login, add the VERIFY

ON and DOS VERIFY ON commands (for network and DOS copies

respectively) to the login script.

Another option, since VERIFY ON can affect performance by slowing down

write operations, is to use the /V option at the command line with each

COPY or NCOPY operation.

The default in the login script is DOS VERIFY OFF.

These commands may not work with some software that is copy-protected.

DRIVE

Use DRIVE to change the default drive while the login script is executing.

Command Format

DRIVE [drive:|*n:]
