- SYS Used to transfer the two hidden SYSTEM files
- to a diskette or hard disk.
-
- Format: [D:Path]SYS DestD:
-
- Example: [C:\>] SYS A:
-
- Transfers a copy of the two DOS hidden SYSTEM files
- to the diskette in drive A. (The C:\> prompt includ-
- ed in this example indicates that you issue this
- command from your hard disk.)
-
- Example: [A:\>] SYS C:
-
- Transfers a COPY of the new version of DOS hidden
- SYSTEM files to the Drive C: hard disk. These files
- will replace the existing SYSTEM's files on your
- hard disk by over-writing them.
-
- [*] The diskette that is to receive these two SYSTEM
- files should either (1) be a data diskette that does
- not contain any other files; or (2) be a system disk
- you wish to update to the DOS version that is on
- your hard disk.
-
- [*] A diskette that has the two system files on it,
- from using the above SYS command, must now have the
- COMMAND.COM file placed on it in order for the disk
- to be used as a true "SYSTEM's" diskette that is
- capable of "booting" your computer. This applies to
- up-grading the hard disk to newer DOS versions also.
-
- [*] Exercise EXTREME C-A-U-T-I-O-N in the using of
- the SYS command, especially when up-grading the DOS
- version on your hard disk! PC-Wizard's SYS command
- should ONLY be used for creating systems diskettes!
