RE: [Help] CPM
Are they both the same size disks?

If so, and also I assume you are using Series-80 (it's not stated):

COPY ":D700" TO ":D760"

should work.

Doesn't PIP work from inside CP/M?

pip b:=a:*.*[ORV]

b target disk, a source disk
O binary transfer
R copy system files
V verify each block

5 1/4 to 3 1/2

Of course, you did write that, I am asking about formatted size, e.g. SS/DD or DS/DD, etc.

Also, the target disk must be formatted before you do the copy, it is not a sector-by-sector copy, it's file-by-file, and the target is expected to be formatted by the INITIALIZE command.
