- SYS
- Transfers the operating system to another disk
- See also <FORMAT> <SELECT>
-
- COMMAND TYPE: External VERSION: 2.0 and up
-
- USE: SYS d:
-
- d: specifies the drive that you wish to transfer the system files to.
-
- IBMBIO.COM and IBMDOS.COM are the two hidden files that are copied by
- the SYS command. SYS does not copy the command processor COMMAND.COM
-
- (DOS 3.3 and earlier)
- DOS expects IBMBIO.COM and IBMDOS.COM to be the first two files in the
- directory. If you get an error using the SYS command it is probably
- because one or both of the first two positions are already occupied.
- This restriction does not apply to DOS 4.0 and later.
-
- With compatible but non-IBM systems, the MSDOS system files may have
- other names.
