Floppy disk copy utility

[doctorgonzo]

Does anybody know of a utility for copying one floppy to another? I'm looking for something that will read one flopppy, let me switch disks, and then copy the first floppy exactly to the second.

I used to be able to do this in DOS. I do not know if it still works in xp but it would be Copy A:\ (or something along those lines) and it would ask for a source disk, then copy it, and then a destination disk which it would write the data to.

Tried various combinations, but nothing like that works in XP.

Have you tried Right Clicking A:, then copy disk (not just copy). I don't have a floppy handy to try it, but mine said source: A: and destination: A: suggesting that it could copy a: -> a:.

Hey, looks like that works! No wonder you don't need a utility, Windows will do it for you! Thanks for pointing out the obvious.

The DOS command is diskcopy a: a:

This should work at the command prompt in any version of Windows.
