Copying System Diskettes
Now that you have started your system and loaded MS-DOS, it
is important that you make copies of your MS-DOS diskettes
right away. Use the copies (called working copies) as they are
needed and store the originals in a safe place.
Each of the system diskettes is formatted for 360KB.
(Formatting prepares a diskette to store data and is described in
Chapter 3 and Chapter 5.)
To copy them, you need seven 360KB doubledensity, 5¼-inch
diskettes.
N o t e
If you do not have any 360KB diskettes, you can use
unformatted 1.2MB diskettes. When copying from 360KB
diskettes, the DISKCOPY program formats the 1.2MB
diskettes for 360KB.
Follow these steps:
1.

and press Enter.
