SYMPTOMS

If you run Diskcopy from Windows Explorer, an access violation may occur in the Rundll32.exe process after Diskcopy is completed if you try to copy a second floppy disk.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because Diskcopy.dll uses a free thread local storage slot if you start Diskcopy again.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, use the diskcopy command from a command prompt.
