Complete the following assignment:

  1. Insert a 3.5" floppy disk into the "A" drive.
  2. Format the floppy disk using DOS.
  3. Verify that the disk is empty by using the directory command.
  4. Create a file using DOS called "lab.txt" with the following structure:

    Your Name
    Your Instructor's Name

  5. Make a directory on the disk called "backup".
  6. Copy the file you created in Step 4 into the "backup" folder, copy the file so that the copy is named "lab.bak".
  7. Delete the original file "lab.txt".
  8. Create another directory on the disk called "temp".
  9. Delete the folder you just created.
  10. Copy all files from the root of the "C" drive that have an extension of ".sys" onto the floppy drive, do this using a single DOS command.

Either hand in your disk or make screen shots (using ALT + Print Screen) and paste into a Word document and e-mail that to cet751@pluto.dsu.edu
