While working with MS-DOS, which command is used to compare the disk in drive A with the disk in drive B, specifying to compare only first side of each disk, and only the first 8 sectors of each track? A. DISKCOPY A: B:/8 B. DISKCOMP A: B:/l/8 C. DISKCOMP A: B:/8 D. DISKCOMP A: B:/l E. None of the above

The correct answer is B. DISKCOMP A: B:/l/8.

DISKCOMP is a command-line utility in MS-DOS that compares the contents of two floppy disks. The syntax for the DISKCOMP command is:

DISKCOMP drive1: drive2: [/1] [/8] [/L]

The drive1: and drive2: parameters specify the floppy drives to compare. The /1 parameter specifies that only the first side of each disk should be compared. The /8 parameter specifies that only the first 8 sectors of each track should be compared. The /L parameter specifies that a log file should be created that contains the results of the comparison.

In this case, the command DISKCOMP A: B:/l/8 will compare the contents of the floppy disk in drive A with the floppy disk in drive B, specifying to compare only first side of each disk, and only the first 8 sectors of each track.

The other options are incorrect for the following reasons:

• Option A, DISKCOPY A: B:/8, does not specify that only the first side of each disk should be compared.
• Option C, DISKCOMP A: B:/8, does not specify that only the first 8 sectors of each track should be compared.
• Option D, DISKCOMP A: B:/l, does not specify that the disks should be compared side-by-side.
• Option E, None of the above, is incorrect because the correct answer is B.
