copy command

[19Echo]

Okay, since i've been away from my atari for so long, im trying to figure out all the jargon again.

what i'm trying to do is this:

booted from my hard drive (800xl) with mydos.

loaded up ape for windows and loaded up an atr file on disk 2

 

what is the command to copy the contents or disk from disk 2 to disk 1?

 

(This is what happens when you dont love your atari for so long)

This should give you most of your answers:

Specifically, scroll down to the section "How do I convert a REAL diskette into a disk image?"

 

You need the APE_WARP.ATR image, then load the MyCopier program. From there, it's pretty self-explanatory. If you have a protected disk, skip that, and use ProSystem to copy it to a .PRO image.

copy d2:*.* d1:

Takes a real dos to do it that way From the menu DOSes you will want to use the C command, then at the prompt, do "D2:*.*,D1:*.*". Note, there are no spaces, and you will not use the quotes.

Ah, true, missed that part. I never use a non-cli dos.
