Does anyone know the DOS command to copy a file that is too large for a diskette to multiple diskettes? I have a hard drive that I want to dump its contents to disk but need it to copy to multiple disks to get all the files, and some files alone are too large for a diskette.

I can't think of a DOS command that will do that. I used to use PKZIP for that. Now, I put everything on my thumb drive or a CD.

PK Zip is what I always used

pkzip -& a:\backup.zip c:\filename.exm
a:\backup.zip is the name of the file to be created...
c:\filename.exm is the file that will be compressed across the discs.
Go to pkware.com and get the info. You can copy your entire drive with pkware. Good luck Jon
