SYS
Transfers the operating system to another disk
See also <FORMAT> <SELECT>
COMMAND TYPE: External VERSION: 2.0 and up
USE: SYS d:
d: specifies the drive that you wish to transfer the system files to.
IBMBIO.COM and IBMDOS.COM are the two hidden files that are copied by
the SYS command. SYS does not copy the command processor COMMAND.COM
(DOS 3.3 and earlier)
DOS expects IBMBIO.COM and IBMDOS.COM to be the first two files in the
directory. If you get an error using the SYS command it is probably
because one or both of the first two positions are already occupied.
This restriction does not apply to DOS 4.0 and later.
With compatible but non-IBM systems, the MSDOS system files may have
other names.
