Question about Amiga floppies and duplicating disks

[Jope]

What command are you using to duplicate the disk? Open up a shell and type

sys:system/diskcopy df0: df0:
(or sys:system/diskcopy from df0: to df0: if the above doesn't work for you)

If you copied the stuff over file by file, you need to install a bootblock onto the disk with the command

install df0:

You'll most likely want to say resident install and then swap your copy in df0: unless you have two drives.. (then it's of course install df1: and diskcopy df0: df1:)

Hope this helps.

Jasongins, you can check out Amiga Explorer, CrossDOS, Twin Express

Amiga Explorer and CrossDos are commercial, but you might have a hard time finding an old enough version of CrossDos to run on 1.3 (you never mentioned what OS you're running)

Twin Express is free, but it's a little less polished than Amiga Explorer, for example.

If you're into a real hardware solution (not just a null modem cable between the machines), the CatWeasel3 works just fine.. You plug it into your PC and you can transfer disks with a small Windows utility. (it's much more versatile if you use a Real Amiga or MorphOS to command it, but it works fine in a PC too)
