- I have read that the new MIRROR command will save disk recovery data to be
- used by the UNFORMAT command. My source indicates that a copy of the FAT
- and root directory is saved in a file called MIRRORSAV.FIL, and that this
- file is saved on the disk located in the drive specified by the MIRROR
- command. My question is this. After a format command has been issued where
- is the file MIRRORSAV.FIL located? Am I wrong in believing that DOS uses
- this file to restore the diskette to its condition as of the time the MIRROR
- command was issued ?
-
- It appears that Microsoft has once again produced a good piece of
- software supported by poor documentation.
