Back up hard drive using DOS commands
EXAMPLE: Using DOS (Exit to DOS from Windows 95), a C drive to D drive copy requires the following so that all of the files are included:
NOTE 1: Refer to the DOS manual for more information on this transfer.
NOTE 2: XCOPY is not included in the Windows 'Start-up' diskette. This is another file to include in the 'Start-up' diskette.
To BACK UP HARD DRIVE USING DOS COMMANDS:
1) Type ATTRIB +A C:*.* /S and press ENTER. (This will give all files in the C drive the +A attribute in all directories and subdirectories.)
2) Type XCOPY C: D: /M/S and press ENTER. (This will copy all of the files from all of the directories and subdirectories of the C drive to the D: drive and then clear the +A attribute from all of the files.)
