I bought a few games today. I want to back up from the 3.5" disks in B: to my Gotek in A:. I could just copy the visible contents of the disks to A: but is there a way I can make an "image" of the disk as I think this is better when installing software?

Ideally how can I do this in DOS 6.22 so I don't have to set up a new old PC!
