HI, there.

I 'm a college student studying physics.  Now I have discovered a
suspicious thing about MS-DOS's behavior in my sense. When I copy some
files to a floppy but I misput a write protected diskette, I find the
error massage "retry, ...". At this time, if I answer "r" to the
massage and puting a non-protected diskette, then the FAT and
DIRECTORY of the protected diskette is transfered to the second non
protected diskette(and the files that I copied to). Is this a DOS's
bug or a virus?

I look forward to the help from anybody.

Thank you.
