Utility Program
COPYDISK (Copying)
Copydisk Procedure
Call up the COPY run command
by typing
• COPYDISK
• [RETURN]
The utility program COPYDISK
completely transfers all data lo
cated on a Source Disk, including
empty tracks, to a second diskette
(Destination Disk). It makes an
exact copy of the Source Diskette.
The files or program parts previ
ously stored on the Destination
Diskette will be completely over
written and will no longer be
available.
The COPYDISK command copies
all system information, including
service programs and the operat
ing system, from the Source Disk
ette to the formatted Destination
Diskette. You can use this pro
cedure, for example, to create a
duplicate system diskette and
keep an unused copy of your
Master, as recommended under
“ Loading the System Diskette.”
NOTE:
The CP/M-86 operating system
has another copy program which
is stored in PIP (Peripheral
Interchange Program). PIP is
used to copy, sort, or transfer
files that should be added to data
stored on a second diskette.
The CP/M-86 operating system
and the utility programs located
on five reserved tracks of the
system diskette cannot be copied
in this manner.
The PIP program is not described
here due to its extensive perfor
mances. Operation and use can
be found in the CP/M-86
Operating System User’s Guide.
The confirmation appears on the
screen with the display
CP/M-86 Full Disk COPY Utility
with the version specification.
The computer also asks which
disk drive contains the source
diskette (A-D). The system disk
ette, in our case the source
diskette, is in disk drive A.
Therefore
• type in A
• [RETURN]
The second question is, which
disk drive contains the Destina
tion Disk (A-D).
• Type in B for disk drive B
• [RETURN]
The computer asks:
Copying Disk A: to B:
Is this what you wish to do (Y/N)?
This means that disk drive A will
be copied to drive B. Answer with
• Y = Yes
N = No
• Insert a formatted and
non
write-protected
blank diskette
into disk drive B
• type in Y
• [RETURN]
