Copying a LOAF disk with the dd command
I have a LOAF disk and I wish to make a copy of it on another floppy so I have a backup.
I'm having trouble getting the dd command to work. Help please. Pete |
If you have two floppies, you should be able to copy it with...
dd if=/dev/fd0 of =/dev/fd1 If you only have one floppy, you should be able to copy it to an image on your hard-drive with... dd if=/dev/fd0 of=~/loaf.img ...then copy the image to the new floppy with... dd if=~/loaf.img of=/dev/fd0 |
That is exactly what I'm doing. I'm able to get the image to the local hd but I can't put it back on another disk. When I pu the image on a new disk and try booting from the new LOAF disk all I get on the screen is L04 04 04 04 04 04.
I've even tried setting the block size. Any other thoughts? Bad Floppy? Set the block size wrong? |
