Loading Files onto the
Winchester Drive
When working with the
PEOPLE
Personal Microcomputer with a
system disk drive and a
Winchester drive, it will
sometimes be necessary to
copy data from one drive to the
other. This could be for either
external use or for (BACK-UP)
safekeeping.
To copy
all
the files
from the
floppy diskette onto the
Winchester drive:
• Switch to drive B (page 5/27)
• Type: PIP A:=B:*.*
• [RETURN]
Your screen will display each
file name as it copies onto the
Winchester Drive.
Once all the files are copied
onto the Winchester Drive,
when you reboot the system the
ASCII character set,
FUNCTION
KEYS.DAT FILE
and
OLYMODE
file will automatically be loaded.
It is also possible to copy only
one file
at a time from the
floppy diskette onto the
Winchester drive. For example,
to copy one file:
• Type: PIP A:=B:filename.xxx
• [RETURN]
Copying Files From Winchester
to Floppy Diskette
It will occasionally be necessary
to copy the files from the
Winchester drive onto the floppy
diskette for back-up purposes.
First, you must format a blank
diskette.
NOTE:
At this point all your files should
have been copied over to the
Winchester drive with the
FORMAT
file on drive A.
To format a blank diskette:
• Switch to drive A (page 5/27)
• Type: FORMAT [RETURN]
The message:
Enter Drive to be
formatted (A-B):
appears on your screen.
• Type B [RETURN]
The next message:
Put diskette to be initialized in
drive b, then type CR
appears on your screen.
• Insert the blank diskette into
drive B
• Press [RETURN]
When the system has completed
the FORMAT program, the
message:
Track=80
=== completed ===
Enter drive to be formatted (A-B):
If you wish to format another
diskette, insert the new diskette
and follow the previous
procedure. To continue with the
following instructions, press
CTRL C.
To copy
all files
from the
Winchester drive onto the
formatted floppy diskette in
drive B:
• Type: PIP B:=A:*.*
• [RETURN]
The message:
COPYING
will appear on your screen
adding each file name that is
being copied until all files have
been written to the floppy
diskette.
To copy
single files
from the
Winchester onto the floppy
diskette:
• Type: PIP B:=A:filename.xxx
.[RETURN]
NOTE:
The floppy diskette in drive B
can hold up to 640 K. If the
Winchester drive contains more
than 640 K, it will be necessary
to copy a group of files at a
time onto the floppy diskette.
