] Oops! But it seems it cannot write a boot sector out of a file. I need
] something like:
]
] FUDECOPY <filename> <drive> <starting sector>
] and/or: FUDECOPY <drive> <starting sector> <# of sectors> <filename>
]
] That's it. A partial disk image reader/writer.
It already exists. Such a program is delivered with megascsi. Perhaps you can
also find it separately on the internet. There are actually three programs:
FDSAVE: Copy sectors to a file
FDLOAD: Copy a file to sectors
FDCOPY: Copy sectors from one disk to another disk.
Example of FDSAVE syntax:
FDSAVE drive filename.ext [/Sxx] [/Exx|/Nxx]
/Sxx: Start sector
/Exx: End sector
/Nxx: Number of sectors
I hope this helps you further in your quest for the ideal sector manipulation
tool.
Brs,
Alex
