DISKCOPY is the command to copy all of the files to memory and then copy those files to another disk. Unfortunately, it does not copy to multiple disks. Here is the syntax:
DISKCOPY [drive1: [drive2:]] [/1] [/V] [/M]
/1 Copies only the first side of the disk.
/V Verifies that the information is copied correctly.
/M Force multi-pass copy using memory only.

What is the width of a computer diskette?
The commonest size in use is 31/2 inches. Standard capacity is 1.444MB. Earlier models also used 5 1/4 inch diskettes, and even earlier ones used 8 inch diskettes. Those earlier diskettes were "floppy" because they were covered in nothing but a coated cardboard sleeve, and were not rigid thus, hence the popular name "floppy disk."

What is hard disk and floppy?
These days (2012) you will not find many floppy disks (although just a couple of years ago we had to order special floppy drives for a server because some software would only be installed if it booted from Drive: A a floppy). There were 8 inch and 5 inch and 31/2 inch floppy disks which were common. The latest (diskettes) were the smallest and were protected by a hard plastic casing. Inside a thin Mylar disk coated with a magnetic surface stored the 1.44 Mb that was the capacity of most diskettes. Hard disks have one or more aluminium or glass disks coated with magnetic surfaces. These hold much more information and now (2012) there are units that can store 3Tb or more.
does a floppy disk hold information?
A floppy disk DRIVE can read, erase and save information on a floppy disk. The disk can't do it by himself.
3.5 inch drive bays?
3. 5 inch drive bays are used to house 3. 5 inch floppy diskette drives. Floppy diskettes are however becoming extinct due to the invention of more reliable storage media.
