Hey.
I'm having a problem copying the program "Talk" from a floppy disk to another,
I'm getting the error: 13: Access denied,
Is there anyway to fix this?
Thanks

What process did you go through to trigger that error?

Are you trying to copy the program onto a treasure disk?

First. I'm trying to copy from a treasure disk to a blank disk.
Second I did: cd disk>copy

Righto.

Connect one disk drive to your computer. Take the disk with the script you want, stick it in the drive.

Copy the script to the computer's internal drive. In this case we'd type:

cp disk\talk talk

Take the treasure disk out of the disk drive. Insert your blank, then copy the file from the computer's internal drive back to that:

cp talk disk\talk

That's a shame.

If you expect further comment on the subject, you may need to explain what you did, and what happened as a result.

What happened is that the file exists but whey I do cd disk> talk it says there exists no file with that name

So you're saying that if you run "ls", that shows you the "talk" script on the disk, but if you try to run "talk", that gives a file-not-found error?

A screenshot might go a long way towards clarifying matters.
