How to Transfer a Floppy DOS 6.22 to a Hard Drive

Transferring a DOS (disk operating system) 6.22 file from a floppy disk to your computer's hard drive is a good method for creating a backup copy in the event that you ever lose, misplace, or destroy the floppy disk itself. Transferring this file is no different than transferring any other file from an external disk to your onboard hard drive. You should be able to complete this process in less than five minutes.

Things You'll Need

• External floppy drive (if your computer does not have a floppy drive)

Instructions

1. Connect the external floppy drive to your computer by plugging it into an available USB connection.

2. Insert the disk containing the DOS 6.22 file into the floppy drive.

3. Right-click on the "Start" menu and select "Explore."

4. Click on the drive letter of your floppy drive.

5. Click on the DOS file contained on the copy and press "Ctrl" and "C" at the same time.

6. Select any location on your hard drive and press "Ctrl" and "V" to copy the file to disk.
