    My copystar and DiskDupe program can not seem to copy this floppy that i want to coppy, in diskdupe i get a error 204 Record not Found This usually occurs when reading a master disk that is bad but can also occur if the wrong disk type is selected. See error 202.
    If the drive you are using has a Y-E Data interface and the P1 jumper is on the wrong jumper block, this error can also occur


    For one i really don't know what this means, as the disk type is FAT, but i don't really know where to check this or find it. And i know it's not a bad disk because it's brand new, so is there any newer better floppy disk copy programs out there that can handle this because even copystar had a problem, and that program never failed me, but since it's a really old program i'd expect the newer securities to come out with something. i don't know i hope people are still making a great floppy disk copier and if anyone knows one please share.



    Thank you guys in advance.

    Thanks for the new software however i don't know if it will work becuase i recently found out the disks contain bad sectors. This one software i have ignores the bad sectors, but while installing the program the copy protection says it failed, so the bad sectors must be the problem. Do you know of any program that can duplicate with bad sectors and still produce a 1:1 copy?

    Sorry for double post, apparently i can't edit my last message, anyway. i just want to give a bit more detail. There are two program disks for installing this software. Program Disc 1, and Program Disc 2. Program Disk 1 has bad sectors, and program disk 2 doesn't.

    While installing i have to insert program disc 1, and then after about 33% of the installation it asks for program disc 2 then when it's done it asks for program disc 1 again. Then it will say Installing copy protection. After about one minute it says CControl.sys not found. When i explored Program Disc 1 i found CControl.sys in the floppy, however it's a hidden file which i can not change to nonhidden, but in the real Program disc 1 (the non-duped one) it's hidden as well with the same file size. So i don't know what's going on or why i can't install it. Hopefully there is some progam out there capable of producing a 1:! with these bad sectors.

    by the way, the program i've used to find these bad sectors etc was called Towodo Floppy Image, it's a real good program, it lists the bad sectors and all but i guess it just can' produce a 1:1 copy of the real disc.
