    Copy protected floppy disk?? Need to dupe

    I need to make a backup of my diag software (floppy) and winimage will not copy it. Does anyone know of a good free utility to copy copy protected 3.5" floppies?

    I don't know of any specific software however if you right click it and go to "Properties" you should be able to uncheck 'read only'

    The other way is to place a piece of tape over the right side hole.

    But the thing is I don't know what kind of copywrite protection you are talking about. These are just general suggestions.

    Some are protected by a specific corrupted bit and such protection is difficult to replicate.
    Unfortunatly I would think this exceeds forum rules to go into much further.

    If you call the company who own the software, you can get the diskette replaced if it's damaged.
