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!
