[comp.sys.ibm.pc] formatting system disks: Correc

creps@silver.bacs.indiana.edu (09/01/87)

   The manual for IBM DOS 2.10 says this:
"If you specify /S in the FORMAT command, the operating system files
are also copied from the default drive to the new disk or diskette in
the following order..."
   So it looks like it takes them from the default drive. That sounds
right, since yesterday I was formatting disks, and I forgot I was logged
to A: instead of C: (where my system is located). When I typed format
it told me to insert the system disk in A:.
