If you want to get to grips with this problem.  List
make_fd.bat to a printer and then (instead of running
make_fd.bat) do the steps manually, one by one from the 
commandline (checking the effect of every step).

What makes you think this?  The routine that copies part2
is a DOS command:
-------------
copy part2 a:
-------------
Where exactly to you see a potential error in that?  

As I said before, the most likely cause of your problem is:
bad floppy/drive or unexpected junk in the directory you run
make_fd.bat from.
