How do you copy floppy disk on to floppy disk?

In: Floppy Disk Drives [Edit categories]

Answer:

First of all, I dont think anyone still has floppy disks,but to transfer the info you must transfer your data from the disk to your computer then transfer it to your other floppy disk.

In older DOS there was a command to do this without having to store the file(s) onto a host computer:
diskcopy a: a:
This would copy everything on the floppy in the A: drive and prompt you to extract the disk and insert a formatted floppy into A:. The new floppy would then be written without any further interaction.
