I want to coppy all of the files from my win95 dos floppy to the hard drive, but I don't know how. When I boot, I get the C:\> command promp but there is only 1 file on this drive. There was a similar posting to this, but I did not understand it. All help would be greatly appreciated. Thnakx



p.s. I have a Dell Dimension XPS P100c desktop, with 32 Mb of ram and a 1 gig hard drive (which the c: drive is located on) and then a 5 gig hard drive also.

Thanks!!

Hmm try using the "xcopy" command that you should have already on the computer...

For example (a: is your floppy, c: is your hard disk):

C:\xcopy a:

And that would copy all of the files at the same time, or you can just use the "copy" command to move just one file at a time

For example:

C:\copy a:fdisk.exe

And that would copy only fdisk.exe

If anyone finds anything wrong with my directions, please correct me!!

Thnks for the help. It seemed to have workd, but not all the way. After aobut 24 or 25 transferd files, it says "access denied". What I mean to say is not all the files got coppied, 10 or so were left out. I tried xcopy and xcopy 32.

Also I was wondering if you knew of a place were I could get DOS 6.0 or newer. Thnaks!

Hmm don't know why access would be denied...

You can download DOS bootdisks, etc. here: http://www.bootdisk.com/bootdisk.htm

Hope that helps! Sorry I can't help more.
