[comp.sys.amiga] Dos-2-Dos problem with copying to harddrive

owenc@hpindwa.HP.COM (Owen Cheung) (01/16/90)

I am having problem with copying files from Amiga file system to a MS-DOS
partition on my harddrive.  I following the procedure in the manual:

1) Specify the devs' name when prompted by the program when it first starts
   up.  For my case, the partition name is "IBMHD:", and the file contains the
   MS-DOS is "fakeC".

   <prompt: Enter Device name>: IBMHD:fakeC

2) Copy files using psuedo device name "MSDOS:".  Copy Amiga_files to IBM_files.

   <prompt>: copy dh0:work/*.* msdos:language\work


As result, I always gets an error message about the IBM devs is not valid.

Am I doing something wrong or Dos-2-Dos just doesn't work the way the manual
claims.


P.S. If I specified device = DF0:, it works perfectly.  Thus, my Dos-2-Dos   
     seems to work other than working with my harddrive partition.
