SYS+Copying System Files to Another Disk
     Copies the DOS files onto another disk.
    VERSION
          PC-DOS 1.0+
	  MS-DOS equivalent: SYS (2.0+; SYSCOPY in earlier
          versions)
    TYPE
          External
    SYNTAX
	  [d:][path] SYS cd:
    OPTIONS
	  [d:][path]	 Specifies the drive letter and path that
                         contain the SYS command file.
	  cd:		 Specifies the letter of the disk drive
                         that contains the disk you want the SYS 
                         files copied to.
    EXAMPLES
	  SYS B:
copies the DOS files to the disk in drive B.
	  SYS B:
	  COPY COMMAND.COM B:
copies the DOS files to the disk in drive B and makes the disk 
bootable by copying the COMMAND.COM file.
    MESSAGES
	  Cannot SYS to a network drive
You cannot use SYS on a network. Pause the fileserver and then 
issue the SYS command.
	  No room for system on destination disk
There is not enough space for the system files on the destination 
disk. Format a new disk with FORMAT/S and then reissue the 
command.
	  No system on default drive
DOS cannot locate the system files to be transferred. Select a 
disk that has the DOS files on it and try again.
    NOTE
     The target disk must either have an empty root directory, 
have been formatted with the /S option of the FORMAT command, or 
have been formatted with the /B option of the FORMAT command. If 
you use the SYS command on a disk that has not been properly 
formatted, you may lose data from it. The SYS command does not 
copy the COMMAND.COM file, which is required to make a disk 
bootable.
