Re: Copy A:\ to C:\ Folder

There is no problem with code if it works fine with first floppy.

According to Microsoft : This problem occurs on disks that do not
contain a media descriptor byte in the BIOS parameter block (BPB) of
the boot sector. Some older preformatted floppy disks do not contain a
media descriptor byte. Older product disks may also not have the media
descriptor byte.

To resolve this problem, re-format the floppy disk with Windows 98,
Windows Millennium Edition, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, or
Windows Server 2003.

There is another resolution as described by Microsoft but its only for
advanced users as it requires hex-editing media descriptor byte.
