Storing on E r r o r Messages
Diskettes
When working with the PEOPLE
Personal Microcomputer it will
from time to time be necessary
to make a copy of the data
you’ve processed on a diskette
in one of the disk drives. This
could be either for external use,
or for safekeeping.
To store the data on the
diskette in the disk drive, use
the instructions in the manual
accompanying the application
software.
To copy files from one diskette
to another:
• Insert a blank, formatted
diskette into the empty disk
drive
• Type: Copy filename.xxx B:
This procedure will copy a file
from drive A to drive B.
Diskettes can be changed as
needed.
The following assumes that the
MS-DOS system diskette is in
disk drive A and you have given
the instructions to copy a file
from the diskette in drive A to
the diskette in drive B. If the
diskette in drive B had not been
formatted properly the error
message below would appear
on your screen.
This message indicates drive B
is not ready. MS-DOS waits for
you to enter one of the
following responses:
• A Abort - Terminate the
program requesting the disk
to be read.
• I Ignore - Ignore the bad
sector and pretend the error
did not occur.
• R Retry - Repeat the
operation. This response
can be used when the
operator has corrected the
error.
Insert a formatted diskette in
drive B and press R to retry the
copy procedure.
