Some protect their programms by emulating bad sectors on a floppy, most disk
image and copy programs will ignore a bad sector. There were some older dos
based copy programs that would do a sector by sector copy. But that would be
illeagal to copy a protected floppy wouldn't it ?? If you indeed own the
floppy look for an older program called (I think) disk copy fast.
