Listing the Contents of a Diskette
You will often want to see which files are stored on your
diskettes or hard disk. For example, before you format a used
diskette and erase its contents, always check the contents of the
diskette to be sure you will not erase any valuable files.
The DIR command lists the names of all files in the selected
directory on a diskette or hard disk. At the MS-DOS prompt
(A>, B>, or C>), type:
DIR
and press
Enter.
MS-DOS lists the names of the files in the
current directory on the current drive.
If you are logged on to drive A but want to see a directory
of the files on the diskette in drive B, type:
DIR B:
and press
Enter.
The DIR command lists the names of the files, and also lists
any subdirectories, the sizes of the files in bytes, and the date
and time each file was last modified. At the end of the directory
listing is the number of files and available bytes on your diskette.
Creating and Using Subdirectories
Because a diskette or hard disk can store many files, you
need a way of organizing them. Trying to find a particular file in
a directory list of dozens or hundreds is difficult.
The simple solution to this problem is to divide a directory
into subdirectories. There are four basic operations you need to
know to create and use subdirectories:
l
Creating subdirectories
l
Changing subdirectories
l
Using pathnames
