DISK COPIER..THE OBJECTIVE OF THE DISK C OPIER IS TO MAKE AN EXACT DUPLICATE OF A DISK. THIS IS ESPECIALLY USEFUL IF THE ORIGINAL DISK CONTAIN NONSTANDARD FILES OR DATA WHICH IS NOT PART OF FILES...IM PORTANT NOTE: ALL OR PART OF WHAT MIGHT BE CONTAINED ON THE TARGET DISK WILL BE DESTROYED. IF A SINGLE SIDE COPY IS PE RFORMED, ONLY THE FRONT SIDE OF THE COPY DISK WILL BE OVERWRITTEN. THE DISK COP IER IS DEPENDENT OF THE DISK LAYOUT. IT CANNOT USE A 1581 IN CONJUNCTION WITH A NOTHER DRIVE TYPE. ALSO, IT WON'T WORK WITH RAMDOS...SPECIAL NOTE TO 1581 USERS : THE DISK COPIER COPIES THE WHOLE DISK , NOT ONLY THE CURRENTLY SELECTED PARTIT ION. THE DISK COPIER DOES AUTOMATICALLY SELECT THE ROOT DIRECTORY ON THE 1581S INVOLVED...THE DISK COPIER AUTOMATICALLY DETECTS IF YOUR COMPUTER IS EQUIPPED WI TH 64K VDC (80 COLUMN) RAM, AND UTILIZES IT TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF PASSES. IT CAN ALSO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF A RAM EXPANSI ON UNIT OF ANY SIZE IF RAM EXPANSION IS ENABLED AT THE DISK TOOLS MENU...YOU ARE ASKED IF YOU WANT A BAM CONTROLLED COPY . THE DISK CONTAINS A MAP, CALLED BAM ( BLOCK ALLOCATION MAP), WHICH KEEPS TRACK OF WHERE ON THE DISK FILES ARE STORED. A BAM CONTROLLED COPY WILL COPY ONLY TH OSE TRACKS WHICH ARE USED ACCORDING TO T HE BAM. UNLESS THE DISK IS FAIRLY FULL, THIS WILL REDUCE THE TIME AND NUMBER OF PASSES NEEDED TO COPY THE DISK. A NON- BAM CONTROLLED COPY WILL COPY THE ENTIRE DISK NO MATTER WHAT. USE THIS OPTION I F YOU SUSPECT THAT THE DISK MAY HOLD IMP ORTANT DATA NOT CONTAINED IN FILES OR OT HERWISE NOT MARKED IN THE BAM AS USED... YOU WILL BE PROMPTED TO INSERT THE SOURC E DISK (OR BOTH DISKS IF YOU'RE USING A DUAL DRIVE COPY) AND THE COPYING PROCESS WILL START. UNLESS YOU ARE PERFORMING A COPY USING 1571 DRIVE(S), THE COPIER W ILL ANALYZE THE DISK AND REPORT IF IT'S SINGLE OR DOUBLE SIDED. THE COPIER CAN' T COPE WITH AN ERROR IN THE BAM, AND WIL L REPORT THE ERROR AND ABORT IF SUCH ERR OR OCCURS...YOU MAY SEE THE MESSAGE "(DO UBLE SIDED SOURCE DISK)". THIS MOST OFT EN MEANS THAT THE SOURCE DISK IS IDENTIF IED AS DOUBLE SIDED, BUT YOUR HARDWARE I S UNABLE TO COPE WITH DOUBLE SIDED DISKS . DATA CONTAINED ON THE BACK SIDE OF TH E DISK WON'T BE TRANSFERRED TO THE TARGE T DISK. IF YOU ARE USING 1571 DRIVES ON LY, CHECK THE DISK TOOLS MENU TO SEE IF YOUR DRIVE(S) ARE REALLY SET TO DOUBLE S IDED MODE (IDENTIFIED AS 1571) AND NOT S INGLE SIDED MODE (IDENTIFIED AS 1571 SID E 0 OR 1571 SIDE 1)...THE "DOUBLE SIDED SOURCE DISK" MESSAGE MAY ALSO OCCUR WHEN THE DISK IS A "FAKE" DOUBLE SIDED DISK. IN THE BAM THERE'S A FLAG THAT IDENTIF IES IF THE DISK IS DOUBLE SIDED. IF THI S FLAG IS SET, INDICATING A DOUBLE SIDED DISK, WHILE THE DISK FOR SOME REASON IS FORMATTED ON THE FRONT SIDE ONLY, THE D ISK IS A "FAKE" DOUBLE SIDED DISK. THIS IS THE CASE WITH SOME COMMERCIAL SOFTWA RE. BEFORE THE 1571 WAS INTRODUCED SOME SOFTWARE USED THE BAM LOCATION, NOW USE D FOR A DUAL SIDED FLAG, FOR ITS OWN PUR POSE. EARLY GEOS DISKS FALL INTO THIS C ATEGORY. THIS CONDITION WILL NOT AFFECT THE COPYING (EXCEPT THAT ONLY ONLY ONE SIDE IS COPIED) OR THE USE OF THE COPY D ISK. HOWEVER, YOU MAY WANT TO CONVERT T HE COPY DISK TO DUAL SIDED USING THE HEA DER/FORMAT UTILITY...THE DISK COPIER WIL L READ AS MUCH DATA AS POSSIBLE INTO THE COMPUTER'S MEMORY. IF THE COPIER CAN'T READ A SECTOR DUE TO AN ERROR ON THE DI SK, IT WILL RETRY USING SLOW MODE (IF YO UR DRIVE IS USING BURST MODE). THE SLOW MODE IS SLIGHTLY BETTER WHEN IT COMES T O READING WEAK SECTORS. IF THAT WON'T D O THE TRICK, THE COPIER WILL REPORT THE ERROR, AND THEN CONTINUE. THE BAD SECTO R WON'T BE TRANSFERRED CORRECTLY. A BAD SECTOR MAY INDICATE THREE THINGS:..1) I MPORTANT DATA MAY NOT BE STORED IN THE D AMAGED SECTOR. THE COPY DISK WILL WORK O.K..2) THE DAMAGED SECTOR HOLDS IMPORTA NT DATA. YOU MAY WANT TO USE THE COPY F OR A REPAIR ATTEMPT USING A SECTOR EDITO R IF YOU'RE CONFIDENT WITH THE USE OF SU CH A PROGRAM..3) THE BAD SECTOR SERVE AS COPY PROTECTION. THE COPY DISK WON'T W ORK. A LOT OF COMMERCIAL SOFTWARE HAS S OME SORT OF PROTECTION AGAINST ILLEGAL C OPYING (AND LEGAL BACKUP COPYING FOR THA T MATTER) UTILIZING BAD DISK SECTORS. I N THIS PARTICULAR CASE YOU MAY (A, USE A SO-CALLED "PARAMETER" ON THE COPY DISK TO MAKE IT WORK, (B, TRY USING A "NIBBLE R" DUPLICATING THE ERRORS AS WELL AS THE DATA, OR (C, GIVE UP. YOU MAY CONSIDER PURCHASING A UTILITY CALLED "THE MAVERI CK" (SEE APPENDIX F) WHICH INCLUDES BOTH NIBBLERS AND PARAMETERS. NO 64 OR 128 USER SHOULD BE WITHOUT THAT PACKAGE IN A NY CASE...YOU MAY TRY TO REMOVING AND TH EN RE-INSERTING THE SOURCE DISK AND ATTE MPT TO COPY THE DISK AGAIN. OR YOU MAY TRY TO USE ANOTHER DISK DRIVE. THIS WIL L SOMETIMES FIX THE PROBLEM...WHEN THE C OMPUTER MEMORY IS FILLED UP (OR THERE'S NOTHING MORE TO READ) THE COMPUTER WILL PROMPT YOU FOR THE TARGET DISK. IF YOU' RE USING TWO DRIVES HOWEVER, THE COPY PR OCESS WILL CONTINUE WITHOUT DELAY...THE TARGET DISK IS FIRST FORMATTED, AND THE DATA IS THEN WRITTEN. IF AN ERROR OCCUR S DURING FORMATTING OR WRITING TO DISK, THE ERROR IS REPORTED, AND THE COPY IS A BORTED. I CAN SEE NO REASON WHY YOU SHO ULD WANT TO USE A BAD DISK. DISCARD THE DISK AND TRY ANOTHER ONE...YOU MAY SNEE R UPON THE FACT THAT THE COPY DISK IS FO RMATTED EVERY TIME A DISK IS COPIED, WHE THER OR NOT IT IS ALREADY FORMATTED. HO WEVER, IT IS MY EXPERIENCE THAT FORMATTI NG THE TARGET DISK WILL SOMETIMES PRODUC E A MORE RELIABLE COPY. I PREFER RELIAB ILITY OVER SPEED, BUT IF YOU'RE OF THE I MPATIENT TYPE, TRY MAVERICK OR FASTRAC ( SEE APPENDIX F), OR SOME OTHER DISK DUPL ICATING PROGRAM...IF THERE IS MORE TO BE COPIED, YOU WILL BE PROMPTED FOR THE SO URCE DISK (UNLESS YOU'RE USING TWO DRIVE S) AND ANOTHER PASS WILL BE PERFORMED FO R AS MANY TIMES OVER AS NECESSARY TO COP Y THE DISK..
