Here is what I did:
- formatted blank disk - run CLI - put blank disk back - changed dir to DF0: - type install df0: and I need to switch back to WB disk then got message that disk is write protected |

Without a hard disk drive the simplest solution to having a bootable disk is to copy the Workbench disk using the Diskcopy command. This copies the boot block and all the necessary directories to the new disk. Then if you need memory for other applications, delete the directories and files not needed for the boot process.

Diskcopy df0: gives me missing argument error. Back to deleting folders/files idk which one I can to delete anyway.
