Using the DISKCOPY command
The DISKCOPY command lets you copy all the files on a
diskette to another diskette. Epson also provides a disk utility
called DU to copy diskettes; this utility is described in your
MS-DOS reference manual.
The procedure for copying diskettes depends on whether you
are using an Apex Plus or an Apex Plus 20. Follow the appropriate procedure for the computer you are using.
NOTE
If you are using an Apex Plus 20, be aware that you cannot use
DISKCOPY to copy files from a hard disk to a diskette.
DISKCOPY only copies files between diskettes. To copy a file
from a hard disk to a diskette, use either the COPY command
or the BACKUP command. See the appropriate section in this
chanter or your MS-DOS reference manual for instructions.
Using DISKCOPY with an Apex Plus
When you use the DISKCOPY command, you need to specify
the disk drive (A: and B:). If you do not, MS-DOS copies the
diskette in drive A to a second diskette that you insert in drive
A. This means you must swap diskettes during the copy process.
MS-DOS displays prompts to tell you when you need to change
diskettes.
1.
Make sure your original diskette is write-protected. (See
Chapter 2 for instructions.)
2.
Insert your working copy of the MS-DOS system diskette
in the top drive (drive A).
