- This is where you are having your problem. A straight copy like this only
- copies files. No directories get copied. So when you try to boot up with
- the recoverable ramdrive there is no s directory, so AmigaDOS moves to the
- next highest priority drive namely df0:. What you want to type is:
- 'copy df1: RAD: all'
- The all will tell it to copy all subdirectories, and make a complete copy.
- (Or you could click and drag the icons this would also work) Incidentally
- I just tried copy df1: to RAD: and it copied to subdirectories, so I am quite
- sure that this is your only problem.
