- DISKCOPY
- Copies the contents of one diskette to another
- See also <COPY> <XCOPY> <BACKUP> <VERIFY>
-
- COMMAND TYPE: External VERSION: 2.0 and up
-
- USE: DISKCOPY [d:[d:]][/1]
-
- The first d: is the source disk for the DISKCOPY.
- The second d: is the destination disk for the DISKCOPY.
- /1 copies only the first side of the disk.
-
- If the destination disk has not been formatted, then DISKCOPY will
- format as it copies (with the same number of sectors and sides as the
- source disc). If specified with no parameters, DOS will perform a
- single drive copy on the default drive.
-
- DISKCOPY is for use on floppy disks only. An attempt to use DISKCOPY
- with a fixed disk will not work.
- DISKCOPY makes a mirror image copy of a diskette on to another
- diskette. As a result, any flaws or fragmented files will also be
- copied over. The <COPY> or <XCOPY> commands would work much better under
- these circumstances.
