Copy floppy disk boot sector to another floppy disk

[bastajn76]

Hello,

Many years ago i knew how to copy a floppy disk boot sector from one disk to another, but my memory has let me down.  

I have searched the net, but been unable to locate any information.  Quarterback Tools rings a bell.

Can anybody shed some light on this matter please?  I am running emulation, and have an original A500.

Thanks in advance.

Justin.

I will try it out, thanks for your input.

Can anybody confirm this, or any other method?

Thanks, Justin

Hi orange,

I tried the method you suggested with XCopy, but had no joy.  I set the end track to 01, and selected only the TOP side.  When i boot the disk, it loaded as per normal with the old boot sector.

I have a memory selector (loader) on the boot sector of one disk.  I would like to copy this loader onto another disk, so i don't have to switch off my expanded memory.

Am i doing something wrong, or barking up the wrong tree?

Any advice would always be appreciated.

Kind regards,
Justin
