MPC2000 manual pg.145 wrote:Copying a System Disk
The MPC2000 requires operating system software to turn the power
on in the same way as personal computers. Personal computers have
operating systems on the hard disk which is automatically loaded
when the power is turned on. In the case of MPC2000, the operating
system software is stored on the system disk and it is always necessary
to use the system disk when you are turning the power on. The
system disk is essential in operating the MPC2000 and it is therefore
recommended to have several copies of the operating system.
The MPC2000 operating system file consists of MPC2000.EXE and
the MPC2000.SYS. Both files are necessary in order to operate the
MPC2000. These two files will be copied when you copy the system
disk. These two files will be regarded as the Òoperating system filesÓ
hereunder in this manual.
Also, by copying the system on devices such as hard disks connected
by a SCSI cable, it is also possible to start the MPC2000 from the hard
disk.
CAUTION:Always copy the operating system from the floppy
disk. It is not possible to copy the operating system
copied to devices such as the hard disk using the
MPC2000.
1. Press DISK (3 on the numeric keypad) while holding down the
SHIFT key to enter disk mode. The save screen will appear when
SAVE[F2] is pressed.
2. Select Copy Operating System in the Type: field and
insert the system disk you want to copy in the disk drive of the
MPC2000. Press DO IT[F6] to load the operating system file.
Note: By pressing DO IT [F6], the MPC2000 will temporarily
load the operating system file to a sequence memory. The
following window will appear if there is no sequence
memory space.
Press O.K.[F5] to return to the save screen in disk mode,
delete sequence data from the memory and try again.
If the operating system file cannot be found in the disk inserted
to the disk drive, the message ÒWrong disk!! Ó
will appear. Make sure you have chosen the correct disk
and try again.

3. Once the operating system file is loaded, the following window will
appear.
The left side of the window will display the data of the loaded operating
system file.
Select the copy destination disk in the Device: field.
Select Floppy in the Device: field and press DO IT[F5] to
display the following window.
Remove the system disk and insert the copy destination disk into
the MPC2000 disk drive.
Press DO IT[F5] to copy.
Note: The copy destination disk must be formatted in advance.
When SCSI is selected in the Device: field, press DO IT[F5] to
copy.

CAUTION:Always copy the operating system from the floppy
disk. It is not possible to copy the operating system
copied to devices such as the hard disk using the
MPC2000.
