Hello,
I wonder how I can make an 1:1 copy of a floppy, including the bad
sectors on it... Plain dd fails with i/o errors.
I tried ddrescue to make an image, and wrote the resulting image to
another floppy, but it does not work :-(
Background:
I'ts about a floppy that came with a windoze software which stores a
license. A backup of this key is what is needed...
Is there another way doing this copy?
Regards,
Yves
Did you try fdutils: ;-)
http://fdutils.linux.lu/
It has a nice fdrwacmd utility which allows to retrieve sectors and
ignore any CRC errors...
Regards,
Alain
