- BULK ERASE PROGRAM DOCUMENTATION
- --------------------------------
-
- Note: COPY II PC will now completely erase the
- target diskette on a track by track basis
- before writing to it. Therefore, the
- program BULK ERASE is no longer necessary.
- It is included here only for completeness.
-
- Some software protection schemes rely on the
- absence of correctly formatted sectors on certain
- tracks. Also, other schemes require the second
- side of a diskette to be blank. If you're having
- trouble with a target diskette, it is helpful to
- erase it before restarting the copy.
-
- This BULK ERASE utility will completely erase a
- diskette.
-
- BULKERAS is also sensitive to an AT and will
- perform accordingly. However, remember, on an
- AT, COPY II PC only handles the low capacity
- diskettes. Copy protection has not been introduced
- with high capacity recording.
-
- Instructions:
-
- To use BULKERASE, type the following from the DOS prompt,
-
- BULKERAS [x:] [/B]
-
- x: = The drive in which you will place the diskette to
- be erased.
- /B = If both sides are to be erased, this operand is to
- be entered. The default is side 0 only. You will
- notice additional prompts when exercising a two-sided
- erasure for extra protection.
